Nigel Farage firebomb suspect caught on CCTV but police failed to spot him

A suspect in a firebombing attack on Nigel Farage's home was caught on CCTV but police failed to spot him.

The Independent Office for Police Conduct is examining whether the Metropolitan Police "missed an opportunity to protect the public".


When the attack took place in April 2025, the police force told the Reform leader that security cameras did not capture the suspect.

But after party spokeswoman and former minister Ann Widdecombe was found bludgeoned to death in her Devon home earlier this year, Mr Farage's investigation was reopened.



Further examination by counter-terror police found the suspect and their car had been spotted "over an extended period", The Telegraph revealed.

Now, the officer who originally reviewed the footage has been placed under investigation by the police watchdog.
