A 25-YEAR-OLD man threatened to petrol bomb his ex partner's home if police didn't get there before him.

Blackburn magistrates heard the recording of Mark Leggat's 999 call to police which amounted to a foul and abusive rant at the operator.

He then went round to the home of his former partner and kicked the front door. Leggat, of Beardsworth Street, Blackburn, pleaded guilty to damaging property belonging to Joanne Batty and using threatening and abusive behaviour.

He was remanded in custody for a pre-sentence report with the warning of a custodial sentence.
