Two teenage boys have indicated guilty pleas after a fire at a community centre in Wiltshire.

Emergency services were called out to a blaze at the Forest Community Centre in Melksham, on 23 February which badly damaged the changing rooms.

The boys, aged 16 and 15, indicated the pleas to charges of arson at Salisbury Magistrates' Court on Tuesday.

The 16-year-old is due to appear before magistrates on 2 April and the 15-year-old on 2 May for sentencing.
