A set of twins have been charged with causing £2 million of damage to a leisure centre.

Daniel and Christopher Hulusi, 34 and from Townley Road, Bexleyheath, appeared at Medway Magistrates' Court to face charges of arson and criminal damage.

The pair had previously been summoned to court by post following incidents at Cygnet Leisure Centre, in Old Perry Street, Northfleet, between March and July.

It is alleged the Hulusis caused £2,000 of damage by smashing windows at the site on March 1 before returning just after midnight nine days later and torching the gym.

The pair are also accused of smashing more windows 10 days later and on three other occasions in June and July.

No pleas were entered and both were released on unconditional bail to attend Woolwich Crown Court on Tuesday, March 13.

Cygnet's gym remained closed until November.
