There will be an increased police presence in Christchurch's Wainoni after an attempt to start a fire at a gang pad in the suburb.
Police said "flammable projectiles" were thrown at the fence of the property on Cuffs Rd about 7.30am on Friday.
"The fence did not catch fire, causing minimal damage, Inspector Craig Scott said.
"Officers were trying to identify the people responsible.
"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."
Scott said there would be an increased police presence in Christchurch as they tried to prevent any further crimes.
Anyone with information was urged to contact police via 105, over the phone or online.
