Out of control event, Atherton

Police were forced to shut down an out of control party in Atherton overnight after a large group of drunken teens were causing a disturbance.

Around 10.15pm police were called to the Cook Street address after reports of a large group of people underage consuming liquor.

Upon arrival police estimated there were around 200 people in the area.

Initial investigations suggest organisers had charged an admission fee, however there was no supervision or security to ensure those underage did not consume liquor.

Police declared the event ‘out of control’ upon arrival and shut down the party

Investigations into other offences are continuing.
