Teenagers charged over M1 motorway blaze15 September 2011Six teenagers have been charged in connection with the fire that closed a stretch of the M1 motorway in April. They are among ten teenagers who have been charged with conspiracy to commit acts of arson across the London borough of Barnet. The fire, which started in a recycling yard under a raised section of the motorway, led to the M1 being closed between junctions 1 and 4 in north London, and caused days of traffic chaos. All the alleged offences took place between 12 April and 16 April. The ten have been bailed to appear at Hendon magistrates’ court on Monday 20 September.    By Ron Alalouff 16/09/11 |
