(JEWISH GROUP) 4 teens arrested in Rotterdam synagogue arson claimed by group that said it attacked in Belgium

Dutch police arrested four teenagers Friday in connection with an overnight fire at a synagogue in the port city of Rotterdam.

The fire took place around 3:40 a.m., causing an explosion that damaged the entrance of the building, photos show. No injuries were reported, and the fire went out on its own, police said.

Later in the day, after a description went out of suspects in the arson, police dispatched near another synagogue pulled over a car that they said had been “driving erratically.” Recognizing the driver as matching the description, they arrested the passengers in the car — four men between 14 and 17 from Tilburg, about an hour away.

“The police are conducting a large-scale investigation into this serious incident,” the Rotterdam Police said in a statement. “It is not yet clear whether the suspects had plans to detonate an explosive or set fire to another synagogue as well.”
