Aleksejs Sokolovs, 45, of Valentine Close, Boston and Darius Lazausaks, also 45 and of Carlton Road, Boston, are both accused of arson with intent to damage property.

Two men were detained at the scene by an off-duty police officer and taken to King’s Lynn Police Investigation Centre for questioning before being charged.
Both men have been released on conditional bail and will appear before King’s Lynn Magistrates court on Thursday 15 September.
