(about 12 hours later) | |
Four teenagers have been released on bail after 100 people were involved in a street fracas near a house party advertised on the Facebook website. | |
A police helicopter and dog section attended the two adjoining flats in Chapel Lane, Farnborough, Hampshire, on Saturday where a joint party was held. | |
Seva Nurueva, 15, apologised after her friend Jordan Wright placed the party on the site. | |
Four male teenagers were bailed while a 17-year-old boy was fined £80. | |

Seva and Jordan had arranged the party in the two flats which are part of a house which had been previously converted. | |
During the night, the front gate was damaged while the street was littered with glass and rubbish. | |
