Article #3 - Helicopter, dog squad needed to break up wild party 直昇機和警犬隊出動制止瘋狂派對

An Australian teenager threw a wild party while his parents were away. Now he could face a big fine.

More than 500 people turned up to the party earlier this month in Melbourne. Some of them ended up going on a rampage.

Police cars were hit with glass bottles and nearby houses were damaged. At least 30 officers, a helicopter and the dog squad were needed to break up the party.

No one was arrested.

Now Australian police say it will be hard to prove who caused the damage, which was close to A$20,000 (NT$579,000). But the 16-year-old boy who threw the party might be responsible.

"He needs to learn a lesson," said Victoria state police commissioner Christine Nixon.

The boy said he had no regrets about throwing the party. He even said he would throw another party the weekend after if his parents weren't due home.

Police said that when the boy's parents learned of the party, they were horrified.
