The Metropolitan Police have announced that a second individual has been charged in connection with alleged arson involving two properties and a vehicle associated with Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer.

Stanislav Carpiuc, a 26-year-old Romanian national residing in Romford, faces charges of conspiracy to commit arson with the intent to endanger life, following a series of fires in north London.

Carpiuc was apprehended on May 17 at Luton Airport in London and is scheduled to appear before Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday morning.

The charges involve three separate incidents: a car fire in Kentish Town, a blaze at the Prime Minister’s private residence on the same street, and another fire at a location where he previously lived in north-west London.
