Police officers broke up another house party in Lincoln after some 80 people gatecrashed a Birchwood home on Thursday night.
The incident took place in Harrier Court at 10pm with damage caused to the property and bottles thrown at police officers, police said. One teenager was arrested for being drunk and disorderly.
Chief Inspector for Lincoln Stewart Brinn said: “It is unbelievable that for the second night in a row we have had to get involved in a public disturbance like this.
“Teenagers are being put into a position where they are at risk of being arrested and criminalised. Officers facing a barrage of bottles and stones have no choice but to respond to disperse large groups who are causing extreme distress and fear to local residents and damage to property.
“This has a huge impact on our resources as at the same time we are trying respond to others that need our help. It is apparent that many parents do not know where their children are and often are not even present to ensure that a small party in their house doesn’t escalate into something which affects an entire street.
“More thought also needs to go into what is put on social media. We know that a post notifying people of a party can go viral and unwanted persons can and do attend with little regard to property or their overall behaviour. Things can quickly escalate into something that people cannot control themselves.”
Anyone with information about this disturbance should call 101 quoting incident 420 of February 15.

Schools and universities in Lincolnshire recognise the potential benefits, but also the concerns, over the use of artificial intelligence.
The results of the government’s first ever Call for Evidence on Artificial Intelligence in Education’ report were published on Tuesday, November 28. It was open for 10 weeks and closed on August 23 this year, with 567 responses received during that time. Most respondents were “broadly optimistic” about the use of GenAI in education.
Almost two months on from Network Rail stating it had implemented “new cleaning regimes” for its railway bridge on Brayford Wharf East, the same concerns of graffiti, dirt and moss growth are continuing — and we are no clearer on how regularly the bridge is cleaned.
The bridge, which opened in 2019 in a bid to improve public safety on the railway crossing, is regularly used by many commuters and residents in Lincoln, but it has been the topic of a cleanliness discussion for many months now.
