Christchurch police are continuing to investigate a drive-by shooting at a Hei Hei house.

The shooting happened on Keri Place at about 4.30AM on Wednesday. No one at the property during the incident.

Chris Lynch media has viewed shocking CCTV footage which shows a car pulling into the quiet cul de sac.

A shadowily person then gets out of the car and shoots at the house at least 3 times.

Police removing security camera

Neighbours, who were too frightened to appear on camera, said the property had experienced ongoing issues since a woman moved in.

They said police officers visited the address twice on Tuesday and had been called to the house regularly over the past 6 months.

One neighbour told Chris Lynch Media he woke to what he believed were fireworks and went outside to see what was happening.

He then saw a car speed away from the street and later checked his video surveillance.

He was shocked by the video, which captured three flashes consistent with gunfire as the person fired at the property.

When Chris Lynch Media arrived at the property on Wednesday afternoon, detectives were inside carrying out a scene examination.

Officers appeared to remove video surveillance camera, which had been taped to a window.

Detective Sergeant David Parker said officers located evidence outside the property, which was unoccupied, indicating a firearm had been discharged.
