Along with those fines, "ten tickets were issued for curfew violations to those who had fled outside and approximately 20 tickets were issued for municipal by-law violations such as obstructing police work." 

Police say the average age of the party-goers was between 20 and 30 and the total amount of fines issued was over $135,000.
