Facebook party does $100k damage in ACT

Teenagers have done $100,000 of damage to a Canberra home during a wild party advertised on Facebook.

Windows were broken, doors pulled off, walls kicked in, light fittings smashed and property in the backyard damaged when up to 70 teenagers attended the "free house party" in the suburb of Kambah, ACT police say.

Police have described it as a "wanton display of senseless vandalism".

They were called to the property just after 9pm on Tuesday to see numerous cars parked on the street and a large number of teens leaving the area.

Police believe the offenders are aged between 15 and 18 and are urging them to turn themselves in.

The vehicle registrations of several fleeing cars were noted and will be followed up on, police say.

"It would be better for them to come forward than wait for police to come knock on their door," Sergeant Mark Rowswell said.
