An underage party in Oamaru ended with an arrest and a damaged house.
Acting Sergeant Larissa Berends said police arrived to the out-of-control youth party at 10pm on Saturday.
The young people were drinking and the house was "moderately damaged".
A 16-year-old boy was arrested for possession of an offensive weapon.
It was not the only youth crime to hit Oamaru last week.
At 10am on Friday, a 17-year-old boy was arrested in relation to damage of a Labour Party campaign hoarding.
He was referred to Youth Aid.
