A set of twins have denied carrying out an arson attack on a leisure centre which caused £2 million worth of damage.

Daniel and Christopher Hulusi, 34 and from Townley Road, Bexleyheath, are accused of arson and a spate of vandalism incidents at Cygnet Leisure Centre, Northfleet.

The offences are alleged to have taken place between March and July at the Old Perry Street site.

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.

Cygnet's gym remained closed until November.

Appearing at Woolwich Crown Court the twins entered not guilty pleas and were released on unconditional bail ahead of a pre-trial review on Thursday, June 28, and a trial on Monday, July 23.
