The woman, who was too frightened to give her name, told the Daily Liberal she was among residents who called police several times at the weekend to report antisocial behaviour.

Police confirmed they got calls to incidents at Coolabah, O'Donnell, Illoura and surrounding West Dubbo streets at the weekend.

"Police went to the area several times due to reports of people fighting, swearing and being intoxicated in public on the streets," a spokesperson for Orana Local Area Command (LAC) said.

"The levels of intoxication were causing fear and apprehension for some of the residents. One person was arrested for fighting in the area."

The police spokesperson said a member of the public smashed the window of a police vehicle while it was on one of the callouts to West Dubbo, but the officers were not injured.

The woman said much of the disturbance appeared to be coming from Alcheringa Street and it could be heard from streets away.

"It started on Saturday afternoon and got really bad in the wee hours of the next morning," she said.

"We were in bed and could hear people yelling that they were going to kill each other. It wasn't so much music, just arguments and fights.

"It's hard to sleep when you've got people yelling all night, using the kind of language they were.

"There were chairs and tables strewn along the street - the road out to the tip looked neater.

"They'd pulled insulation out of a vacant house and spread it all over the place."

The woman said on Sunday night a group of about 10 boys walked by her house, one of them carrying a machete.

"He shouted at us, 'I'm gonna slice you up, you c--s'," she said.

"Then on Monday night I got rocks thrown at my place."

It was not just children causing trouble, the woman said.

"Some of the kids were actually screaming at the adults to stop fighting," she said.

"You don't wonder why kids grow up acting like they do when this is what they see going on."

When the Daily Liberal visited Alcheringa Street on Tuesday, a large amount of what appeared to be insulation material was evident along both sides of the road, although its origin was unclear.

A spokesperson for the Department of Family and Community Services (FACS) said it had not received any reports of properties being vandalised on Alcheringa Street.

"An inspection of properties today (Tuesday) found no FACS properties have been affected," the spokesperson said.

"A privately-owned property on Alcheringa Street appears to have been severely vandalised."
