A 16-year-old from Craigieburn was charged with two counts of evading police, two counts of unlicensed driving, two counts of an unregistered vehicle and one count of driving in a dangerous manner.

His bike was also impounded.

Police were called to a second gathering at Boundary Road about 2am, where about 100 people were gathered.

A number of people allegedly attempted to damage a police vehicle.

Police are investigating the incident and are seeking information or footage to help with the investigation.
