Cops said on Sunday that they suspect the car of potentially being used in an attack against the Jewish community.

The probe is being led by counter-terrorist cops.
They are looking into charges of conspiracy to commit a terror offence and the transporting of category A and B weapons.
Category A weapons include semi-automatic firearms like rifles and handguns.
Category B weapons include pistols and revolvers.
