A 14-year-old girl was caught drug dealing with 31 capsules of MDMA in her possession at an Australian festival on Saturday.
The girl from Mt Druitt was caught by NSW police at the Good Life's Lost City under 18's Festival which was held at Sydney's Olympic Park.
The teenager was given conditional bail and will appear in children's court on April 8.
She was one of two teenagers caught selling drugs at what was supposed to be a 100 percent drug and alcohol-free event for children according to 9 News.
A crowd of roughly 12,000 teenagers aged 13 to 17 attended and children had to provide identification to confirm their age.
9 News also reported the other teenager caught selling drugs was a 17-year-old boy from Wangi Wangi near Lake Macquarie who had 75 MDMA pills on him at the time.
When he was caught he tried to resist police and had a knife in his possession.
Internally concealing drugs appeared to be a popular method by festival-goers to attempt to evade police. A16-year-old girl was found to have 4g of ice on her and a 15-year-old girl tried to hide 11 MDMA capsules internally.
News.com.au reported police found another 14 teenagers with drugs.
The festival said on its website that one in five children would be tested for intoxication and one in ten for drugs, a number of others were strip-searched despite concerns leading up to the event.
The Sydney Morning Herald reported before the event, concerns from parents and a police accountability solicitor about police using "invasive' and "potentially unlawful" methods.
Lisa Woods whose daughter was attending the event said she had mixed thoughts about the drug and alcohol testing.
"I'd prefer they were overcautious when it comes to drugs and alcohol," she said.
"I don't like the idea of a child being strip-searched without a parent there."
Parents were not allowed into the festival.
Police kept strip searches to a minimum on Saturday but had positive results when they did use the method. 11 of the 12 strip searches conducted resulted in positive detections.
Overall there were 27 ejections from the event for intoxication, drug-related matters an anti-social behaviour.
The festival is now in the process of moving to Brisbane the gates will open again on February 29.
