Police also detected 14 teenagers with prohibited drugs that will be dealt with under the young offenders act, including a 15-year-old boy who was charged with possession of a prohibited drug and breach of bail.

He was refused bail to appear at Parramatta Local Court on Sunday.

Officers also ejected 27 people from the premises for intoxication, drug-related matters and anti-social behaviour.
