Gatecrashers trashed house after YouTube posting

GATECRASHERS trashed a teenager’s house and beat up his brother and father after spotting his 16th birthday party publicised on video-sharing website YouTube, police said yesterday.

Seven of the intruders — aged 15 to 18 — were arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm after Chris Worthy’s birthday bash descended into horrifying violence.

Chris’s brother Stephen, 18, and father David, 53, needed hospital treatment for injuries suffered while trying to defend their home in Chippenham, Wiltshire, from uninvited guests.
