Police issued 20 COVID-19 Penalty Infringement Notices following a number of alleged breaches of the Public Health Act across the weekend, including an out-of-control Lake Macquarie party.
Officers were called to a home on Letchworth Parade, Balmoral, about 10.30pm on Saturday, following reports of a large party.
Police arrived to find more than 100 young people congregated and spoke with the resident - a 47-year-old woman - who said many of the guests were uninvited, but she had not asked them to leave.
As police attempted to disperse the crowd, they became hostile towards the officers and threw bottles, rocks, and other projectiles before damaging property, including fences, trees and street signs.
The crowd was eventually dispersed and investigations into the incident are continuing.
Officers have since issued the woman with a $1000 PIN.
Police continue to appeal to the community to report suspected breaches of any ministerial direction or behaviour which may impact on the health and safety of the community.
