RAIDERS doused a nightclub owner in petrol and threatened to burn him alive before fleeing with £1,300 from Kazy's Club in Darwen town centre.
The gang wrecked the club, blocking sinks with paper towels before turning on taps to flood the club.
They beat up owner Andrew Wright, 33, broke his nose, and poured paint over his head.
