No drama at New Year's: Police

Orana Police Acting Inspector Justin Falkiner said the night was no different to any other.

"The fireworks at Apex Oval went off without a hitch, it was a good family night," he said.

"There were no real dramas last night.

"Everyone was fairly well behaved and there were only minor incidences."

NSW Fire and Rescue Station Officer John Poulos said there was no sign of pyromaniacs to dampen the New Year's mood.

Officer Poulos said the only fireworks were the legally-lit Caltex Park display.

"Fire trucks stood by at Caltex, but everything went as planned," he said.

Police were called to a report of a group fighting in the street in Apollo Estate at 3am yesterday morning, Officer Falkiner said.

The fight consisted of about 40 to 50 people and the group turned on police.

A bottle was thrown at a police car, which smashed the rear window.

Those involved in the fight were moved on and the incident will be investigated further, Officer Falkiner said.

No one was injured in the altercation.

A man was charged with possession of drugs at 10.30pm on Wednesday night.

He was pulled over on Wheelers Lane by Orana Police, where he was found to be in possession of ice.

Officer Falkiner said a small altercation broke out at the Talbragar Street kebab shop.

But the incident was quickly diffused.

A man was charged with driving under the influence, refusing a breath test and breath analysis.

The man was pulled over at a random breath test (RBT) yesterday morning and was charged with a high level DUI after refusing testing.

Western Region Highway Patrol boss Inspector Jeff Boon said January 1 marked day 13 of Operation Safe Arrival, the state's Christmas - New Year road safety campaign.

The operation runs until Sunday January 4. Double-demerits are currently in place.

Within the Western Region 59,821 RBTs have been conducted since Safe Arrival was started on Friday December 19.

More than 1300 people have been picked up for speeding, 150 people were caught not wearing a seatbelt and 90 drink drivers have been caught.

Inspector Boon suggested this may pass the 93 drink drivers from last year, but the statistics have a silver lining.

"We might be looking at an increase in the number of drink drivers, but I'm pleased Operation Safe Arrival has been fatality-free," he said.

There have been 45 fatalities in the Western Region, which is 11 less than last year and has decreased dramatically since 2010-11. "There were over 80 fatalities three years ago," he said.

"We've almost halved the number of fatalities in three years."

Inspector Boon said motorists needed to ensure they follow the road rules at every time of year, not just during Operation Safe Arrival.

"Of 45 fatalities most of the motorists were breaking the law before the accident, so a number of the deaths were preventable," he said.

An Ambulance NSW spokesperson said there were extra paramedics rostered on for the New Year's Eve shift but they weren't needed as they had no calls to major accidents.
