A CROWN court judge has ordered psychiatric reports on a Hyndburn woman after her second conviction for arson.
Bernadette Meadowcroft, 43, admitted arson at her home in Chapel Street, Rishton, on May 21.
Judge Beverley Lunt, sitting at Burnley Crown Court, remanded her on bail and also ordered pre-sentence reports after noting that Meadowcroft has an arson conviction from 1990.
Meadowcroft, still of Chapel Street, who will be dealt with on January 24, was warned that options, including custody, would be open to the sentencing judge.
