Two teens have been charged after a party was shut down in Lambton at the weekend.
About 9.20pm on Saturday (23 January 2016), officers attached to Newcastle City Local Area Command were called to a home on Charlton Street after calls to Triple Zero (000) regarding a party at the location.
Police arrived to find approximately 200 people at the premises, a large number of which were allegedly intoxicated and under the age of 18.
Officers spoke with the owners of the property and dispersed the crowd a short time later.
About 50 people from the incident were later seen congregating at a service station on Croudace Street.
Police were moving the group away from the area, when it’s alleged an 18-year-old man threw an object at an officer.
Officers were arresting him when a second 18-year-old man allegedly attempted to intervene.
A 17-year-old girl also attempted to intervene and allegedly assaulted another officer, while a 15-year-old girl was also arrested for hindering police.
Further police arrived at the location and the group was dispersed, while the four teens were arrested.
Both 18-year-old men were charged with assault police and resist arrest and issued Field Court Attendance Notices to appear before Newcastle Local Court on Tuesday 2 February 2016.
Inquiries are continuing regarding the two teenage girls, who are expected to be dealt with under the Young Offenders Act.
A number of officers sustained minor injuries during the incidents; however, they did not require hospitalisation.
