AN arsonist who threw three Molotov cocktails at a manned police station has been jailed.

Cops “genuinely feared for their lives” as the petrol bombs were aimed at an open window in December 2022 by Voldemaras Rimasauskas, 31.

Voldemaras Rimasauskas was jailed for 12 years after he launched three Molotov cocktails at a police stationPA

Three detainees had also been in the building.

While all fell short, damage was done to the outside of the station in Huntington, Cambs.

Socks, which had been used as wicks, were found at the scene.

DNA tests matched them to Rimasauskas and he was arrested.

Chief Constable Nick Dean said: “It cannot be lost on anyone the impact if those petrol bombs had ignited within the building.”

Rimasauskas, of no fixed address, admitted arson with intent to endanger life and was sentenced at Huntingdon crown court to 12 years.
