A group of rowdy, drunken Christchurch students are being accused of smashing up cars and causing damage in several Riccarton streets overnight.

Kyle, a resident in the area, told Newshub he heard a loud group of people on his road along with banging noises around 11:30pm on Thursday.

"You could definitely tell that they'd had quite a bit to drink," he says, "they were really, really loud".

When he checked on his car, he found dents on his door and the right wing mirror hanging off.

"It's more frustrating than anything".

Police have received a complaint and are investigating.
