Revellers mainly well behaved in ACT

Revellers in the nation's capital were fairly responsible on New Year's Eve but police say they are disappointed with several drunk young people partying in the city's streets.

About 15 youths in one group were arrested early on New Year's Day for alleged intoxication, possession of or consumption of alcohol.

They were later released to their parents or guardians.

Meanwhile, one male was arrested for allegedly setting a car on fire during the 9pm fireworks display in Canberra.

Five people were also arrested for drink or drug-driving, while a 23-year-old P-plater was caught speeding 45km over the speed limit on the Majura Parkway, police said.
