POLICE, the air wing and the dog squad were used to control up to 500
drunk teenagers who turned wild at a house party in Melbourne's outer
south-east.
Up to 500 people were at the party in Narre Warren South, which police
say was hosted by a 16-year-old boy while his parents were interstate.
Police were called in to break up the crowd in Galloway Drive just
before 11pm (AEDT) yesterday when the pack of youths turned wild.
A crowd gathered at a nearby reserve on the corner of Eastbourne Way
where they started throwing glass bottles at two police vehicles,
causing significant damage.
Police say they were forced to retreat until back-up arrived.
Extra police, the air wing and the dog squad were called in.
The crowd eventually dispersed as police numbers swelled.
There were no arrests but police say most of the underage youth were
drinking alcohol.
