Three detainees had also been in the building.

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

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.
