Overview

• City of London Police said suspects smashed windows and sprayed red paint at One Coleman Street around 2am, with enquiries ongoing and no arrests so far.
• Legal & General said it is working with investigators and prioritising staff safety, as parts of the frontage were cordoned off and entry required identification during cleanup.
• The incident follows a year of similar red‑paint damage at financial offices including JP Morgan, Invesco and Barclays in London.
• Palestine Action has claimed responsibility for some previous attacks on financial firms, and the UK government has since proscribed the group after an RAF aircraft vandalism case.
• Police have not attributed the latest damage, though prior cases sometimes featured 'drop Elbit' graffiti and comparable reports have been logged in several UK cities.
