A TEENAGER will face a charge of arson at Swindon Crown Court next month.
The 17-year-old, who cannot be named for legal reasons, is alleged to have used an aerosol can to spray 'firebombs' under the doors of three rooms at a Swindon hostel on May 14.
The teenager was remanded in custody but has not yet entered a plea. Magistrates decided the case was so serious that they sent it to crown court.
He will appear at crown court on June 15.
