JULY 7 BOMBINGSLONDON, England (CNN) -- Police have made three arrests over an attempted arson attack near the unoccupied family home of July 7 London bomber Germaine Lindsay in Northern Road, Aylesbury. The three were arrested on suspicion of attempted arson with intent to endanger life, Thames Valley police reported in a statement. One is a man aged 20 while the other two are both 17-year-old males, police said. All are local to the area around the market town of Aylesbury, 40 miles (60 km) northwest of London, police added. The statement said they have been taken to Aylesbury police station where they will be questioned about the incident which was reported to police at 6:30 a.m. (1:30 a.m. ET) Friday morning. Residents in Northern Road, who were evacuated from two homes this morning, have been allowed to return, police said. Earlier Thames Valley Police told CNN said they found substances believed to be petrol or diesel around the house Friday morning. Jamaican-born Lindsay lived with his wife and child in the house, which is now standing empty. Police have said Lindsay was one of four bombers who carried out the July 7 attacks on the London underground and bus network which killed 52 people. Police said they had been called to Northern Road shortly after 6.30 a.m this morning after reports of a strong smell of petrol in the street. They confirmed there had been a "minor attempt" to light the fuel.
