Two teenagers have admitted causing a fire inside a home with intent to endanger life.

Freddie Holt, of Winton Drive, in Croxley Green, and Kane Pinnock, of Rickmansworth Road, Watford, pleaded guilty at St Albans Crown Court on Tuesday.

The 19-year-olds were charged in relation to an incident in Malvern Way, Croxley Green, in August 2021.

Police said the fire in the house had damaged the whole front of the building, as well as the curtains, window and chair inside.

They appeared at St Albans Magistrates’ Court on February 9, but the case was sent to the crown court due to the severity.

Both men were released on unconditional bail before their sentencing hearing on April 26.
