Numerous calls from the community has resulted in the arrest of a man and woman accused of offensive behaviour and malicious damage at Newcastle West.
Police were called to Parry Street at about 5.30pm on Sunday to reports two people were swearing, smashing bottles and kicking cars parked on the street.
