A RAIDER who twice targeted and then torched a dental surgery is awaiting sentence at Burnley Crown Court.

Jason Wildman, 33, of Holme Street, Cotton Tree, Colne, admitted two counts of burglary and one of arson at the surgery, belonging to Mark Wilkinson, in Whalley Road, Accrington.

The offences took place between last January and February and last November. The defendant was remanded in custody until February 28 for a pre-sentence report by Judge Christopher Cornwall, who warned him all options would be open.
