RIOT police have arrested 15 people and seized a rifle today amid continuing violence sparked by the deaths of two teenagers in a stolen car.

Rioters meanwhile threw bottles, fireworks and stones at a line of police during a fourth night of unrest at Macquarie Fields in south-western Sydney.

After an hour of relative calm, the situation escalated just after 9pm (AEDT), this time at the corner of Berrigan Crescent and Eucalyptus Drive.
For about 20 minutes, up to 60 police in riot gear were pelted with rocks, fireworks and bottles in the fourth consecutive night of violence in the troubled suburb.
