Teens charged after party shut down – Lambton

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.
