A POLICE helicopter was used to disperse 150 uninvited guests at a 16th birthday party in Kellyville on Friday night.
Police said 150 people aged 14-18 attended the party, which had 40 invited guests.
About 8.45pm the party organiser called the police and five cars arrived at the five-acre property on Fairway Drive while the helicopter flew overhead.
Hills Local Area Command Crime Commander Detective Chief Inspector Wayne Murray said parents should pick up a party pack from the police station before they host events.
``Parents need to speak to their kids to ensure there is limited marketing about the party.''
