Four people were arrested overnight after a family feud saw fire bombs hurled at police in the town of Northam, east of Perth.

Police spokeswoman Ros Weatherall said her colleagues attended a disturbance in Hutt Street and were attacked with fire bombs and other projectiles.

Several police units were dispatched from Perth to help quash the ruckus, and five move-on notices were issued.

No police officers were injured.

Ms Weatherall said the violence related to an old feud between two Aboriginal families in the area.

Two men and two women were remanded in custody after being charged with many offences. The offences included Going Armed in Public To Cause Fear, and Disorderly Conduct.

The quartet will appear in court on Monday.

Ms Weatherall said police expected to charge more people after witnesses were interviewed and video footage of the feud examined.

Police continue to monitor the situation and are conducting extra patrols of the area.
