A gang pad in Christchurch was hit by an attempted firebombing this morning.
Police said “flammable projectiles” were thrown at a fence of the Cuffs Rd property at around 7.30am.
The fence did not catch fire, and the damage was “minimal”, police said.
Inspector Craig Scott said Wainoni residents could expect to see more officers over the coming days in efforts to prevent further offending.
“Police will not stand by as gangs create chaos in our communities,” he said. “While this morning’s incident didn’t result in any significant harm, the violent actions of gangs cause real unease, particularly for any witnesses or those living nearby.”
He urged anyone with information to call 105.
