On Thursday morning, police and fire emergency services attended Ardern's electoral office in the central suburb of Morningside.
A person was reportedly seen smashing a hole in the officer door before throwing something inside, which appeared to result in smoke emanating from the building.
A large knife, which appeared to be a machete or a small sword, was also found on the path, according to Stuff.
Police confirmed in a statement they are "making inquiries into a report of wilful damage at an address on Great North Road.
“The incident was reported at about 8.20am, where an object was thrown through a window.
"A scene examination will be conducted and inquiries remain ongoing."
Stuff report that there have been no injuries, with the holder of the office some 5,000km away on another continent.
