The force claims the teen was given the chance to shut down Friday's party, before he was fined. "Now officers are warning others thinking of hosting parties this weekend ahead of the changes to think again or face the consequences. “Under current rules we can issue fines to anyone hosting gatherings of more than 30 people which can result in fines of up to £10,000. "In this case the resident also had the chance to shut the party down when they were first visited by our council colleagues. On September 4, Wiltshire Police handed a £10,000 fine to a teenager who they say threw a party that was attended by up to 100 people at a home in Devizes.
