London - A £5 million lottery millionaire and some of his family have fled Britain after being targeted by arsonists, according to reports yesterday. Mr Lawrence Candlish (26) bought seven homes in the same street in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, for himself and family members. In January petrol was poured over the porch of his £240,000 home and set alight. The following night a £20,000 car was torched on the drive of his sister's £200,000 property. Both homes are now for sale, as is the £220,000 home the former factory worker bought for his parents at Biddick Village, Washington, Tyne and Wear.
