Girl, 16, arrested after planning a party on where revellers caused ...

A 16-year-old girl has been arrested after she invited revellers to a luxury apartment, who went on to cause £40,000 worth of damage.

Party-goers tore down walls with sledgehammers at the flat in Belfast, which had been rented through booking.com by a woman who purchased the one-night stay for her daughter.

Despite the rules of the property clearly stating that parties were not allowed, the teenager took to Snapchat where she invited people to the flat on Saturday night.

Now the owner of the property has been left devastated, after vandals broke furniture and smashed windows during the party.

'The extent of the destruction is unbelievable, it makes me sick to the bottom of my stomach.

'There is now a hole in the wall between the kitchen and hall because they used sledgehammers to break through.

'The windows have been smashed, doors broke, the kitchen and bathrooms are wrecked, everything is ruined.'

William has rented out the property for two years and when advertising the flat, explicitly states that parties and events are not to be held.

Despite this, up to 40 youth descended on the property, which is usually let out to tourists.

Residents who witnessed the event said some people had even been scaling the railings of the building to try and get in.
