Teenagers in court over college fire

Four teenagers have appeared in court charged with arson after a fire at a former college in Coventry.

The blaze broke out at the Henley College building on Henley Road on 29 April last year, causing almost £400,000 of damage.

Two boys, aged 15 and 16, and a 16-year-old girl indicated not guilty pleas at Coventry Magistrates' Court earlier. The fourth defendant, a girl aged 15, made no indication as to plea.

The defendants - who cannot be named due to their age - were bailed and are due to appear at the same court on 17 September.
