NSW:MP's office broken into

SYDNEY, Aug 16 AAP - The office of a state NSW Labor MP has been broken into in Sydney's
southwest.

Police say a man forced entry to the office of Andrew McDonald, the member for Macquarie
Fields, at Carnes Hill Marketplace on Kurrajong Road about 7am (AEST) on Friday.

Nothing was believed to have been stolen during the break-in, which police believe
was opportunistic.

"We think whoever broke in was looking for money or other items that could be quickly
turned into cash," Detective Inspector Daniel Doherty said in a statement on Monday.

Police have released CCTV footage of the man, who is described as being of Caucasian
appearance, aged between 18 and 30 and wearing a check hooded top, black jacket with white
horizontal stripes on the front, brown pants, black gloves and white runners.

He left the scene in a white sedan driven by another man.

A number of people who were in the carpark at the time have been urged to contact police.
