Two men who admitted their part in a petrol bomb fire will be sentenced at Lewes Crown Court on December 3.

Martin Steele, 17, of Watermill Road, St Leonards, admitted arson.

Grant Smith, 19, of Springfield Road, St Leonards, admitted making an illegal explosive substance, petrol bombs.

The two men and a third defendant, Michael Baldwin, 22, of Wishing Tree Road North, St Leonards, were all charged with making petrol bombs with intent to endanger life, damage property or enable others to do so.

But Judge Richard Brown directed the jury to acquit all three of the charge during a trial last week.
