A man has been convicted over a petrol-bomb attack on a hotel housing migrants, following a police investigation into the incident, the Metropolitan Police has announced.

According to police, detectives arrested Mark Neville within two days of the attack. The conviction marks a significant development in a case involving an attack on accommodation used to house people seeking safety in the UK.

Attacks involving incendiary devices can place residents, hotel staff, emergency responders and nearby communities at serious risk. The case also highlights the work of police investigators in identifying suspects and bringing cases before the courts.

The Metropolitan Police published the conviction announcement on 29 October 2026. Further details about the court proceedings, the precise circumstances of the attack and any sentence should be checked against the full police statement and court records before publication.

The case comes amid continuing public debate about migrant accommodation, community safety and the protection of people living in temporary housing.

The conviction represents a legal outcome in the case, but reporting should distinguish the confirmed conviction from any allegations or details not established in the official announcement.
