NSW: MP's office break-in not politically motivated: police
Liberal MP PAT FARMER says the latest break-in at his Sydney office is part of a string
of incidents since his re-election .. including one in which a dead cat was dumped on
his doorstep.
Mr FARMER'S Campbelltown office in Sydney's south-west .. was broken into overnight
yesterday .. with police arresting the alleged thief after a rooftop stand-off.
Police allegedly found a 28-year-old man on the roof of the building about 2am (AEST)
yesterday .. finally coaxing him down an hour later with the offer of a cigarette.
The man .. from nearby Narellan .. was charged with breaking, entering and stealing.
Mr FARMER says yesterday's break-in was the fourth in as many weeks .. in which files
have been gone through .. and the drawers smashed open to get to those files.
The Liberal Party had a 10 per cent margin for Macarthur at the 2004 election .. but
Labor came close in the last November's federal poll .. with Mr FARMER narrowly retaining
his seat by 11-hundred votes.
