Minister's home burgled

Social Development Minister Paula Bennett's house was burgled at the weekend.

Ms Bennett issued a press release today about the burglary at her Waitakere, West Auckland, home during which a laptop and camera were taken. Other easily accessible items were left.

"There was no sensitive information on the laptop, although obviously I am concerned at this invasion of my privacy," she said.

"The police are investigating it, so I will be making no further comment."

Nobody was at home at the time of the burglary.
