Sorry to rip this from the BBC, just thought it should be of interest - hopefully someone will supply more info soon.

Man admits arson during G20 demo

A man has admitted starting a fire at a branch of Royal Bank of Scotland during the G20 protests in London.

Lithuanian Mindaugus Lenartavicius, 21, pleaded guilty to a charge of arson at the branch in Threadneedle Street.

Lenartavicius was seen pulling out a lighter and repeatedly flicking it alight on 1 April to set window blinds on fire, Southwark crown Court heard.

His not guilty plea to a charge of being reckless as to whether life was endangered was accepted by the court.

The 21-year-old, who lived in a squat in Palmers Green, north London, has been remanded in custody until sentencing, scheduled for 23 October.
