A 28-year-old man has pleaded guilty to reckless arson.

Adam Kay, of Sandfield Road, Thorpe Edge, Bradford, appeared at Bradford Crown Court yesterday.

He pleaded guilty to a charge of damaging by fire, on May 25 this year, a dwelling, at Walker Avenue, Scholemoor, Bradford, intending to damage property, and being reckless as to whether life would be endangered.

Judge Peter Benson adjourned sentencing until July 22 so psychiatric and probation reports could be obtained on the defendant.

Kay was granted bail on condition of residence, not to contact the complainant, and not to enter Scholemoor.
