CCTV footage of two youths pelting eggs at a parked car has been shared on the Allen St Rock Club facebook page in the hope of catching the culprits.

Two boys who threw a "couple hundred" eggs at a band member's car are alleged to have egged two more cars on the same night.

Joseph Johnson Allen St Live owner Tarquyn Read is "pissed off" with two boys who threw eggs at a band member's car.

Allen St Live owner Tarquyn Read posted CCTV footage to the bar's Facebook page after two boys egged the car of a member of covers band Unhinged about 1am on Sunday.



The footage shows one of the boys pelting a parked car with eggs while the other films the egging on his phone.

The two boys are alleged to have egged two other cars.

Supplied Allen St Live owner Tarquyn Read says two youths seen pelting eggs at a parked car will be reported to police if they do not come forward.

Lone Star Manchester St's general manager, Camille Le Lievre, said two female staff members had their cars egged on the same night.

The cars were parked at Mike Greer Hills, about a five minute walk from Allen St.

"The cars were egged pretty badly - they thought it was staff playing a trick on them," Le Lievre said.

Read said the band member was "furious".

"He had to clean it straight away; it was freezing - it's not a job you want to do at the end of the night."

Read posted the footage to Facebook because he wanted the pair to be "responsible for their actions".

"I was completely pissed off, there's just no point to it, it's just stupid.

"We don't feel that it's fair that the band member's car was egged; he's actually a good guy who plays music to feed his family."

If the pair do not come forward, Read will contact police.

"We've got some jobs for them to do around Allen St, they might be picking up rubbish on a Saturday night or something like that."

Read is the latest Christchurch business owner to turn to social media to solve a crime.

In April, Cafe Valentino owner Michael Turner posted CCTV footage of a man walking through the restaurant's back door. The man spent less than a minute in the back entrance before leaving with a chef's bag, which had a wedding ring inside, among other items.

Last year, the Thai Container in Bealey Ave released footage of a vandal, who was identified in 30 minutes and later arrested.

At the time, police said it was positive to see retailers embracing "the power of social media".

In December, an east Christchurch shop owner used social media to identify a man who took off with a $900 surfboard.

Within two hours, she received 15 private messages and three phone calls identifying the man by name.
