ROADBLOCKS

Police set up roadblocks
throughout the area and
turned away an estimated
100 to 150 more youths as
people continued to flock to
the party.

Some of the roadblocks
were manned throughout the
evening but at others police
were called away to deal

’ with other: situations as they:

arose. R

At 11:30 they received
more calls for help and
returned.

A spokesman said: “Kids
were out all over the streets.
There were about 75 kids
milling around, with broken
beer bottles all over the
place and liquor strewn
around the area.”

Roadblocks were again set
up and it was estimated there
may have been 100 people in
the area trying to get to the
party.

More liquor se seizures were
made and by the end of the
evening the tally of con-
fiscated alcohol totalled five
bottles of liquor, one bottle
of wine and 236 bottles of
beer.

The’ police spokesman :

said: “Youths were turned
back from the area a third
time and shortly thereafter
the crowd started — to
disperse, screaming and
yelling and throwing beer
bottles — both empty and
