"As the local MP for 11 years now I’ve worked hard to be accessible, respectful of other people’s views and never had this happen.

"The damage has been reported to the police, pointing out the cctv camera nearby.

"If this was you or you have information please contact Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111."

Doocey was first elected as the National MP for Waimakariri in 2014 and was re-elected in 2020 and in 2023. He is now Minister for Mental Health and Associate Minister of Health.

The incident follows an alleged attack on Foreign Minister Winston Peters’ Auckland home this month. A 29-year-old man appeared in court charged with burglary after a windown at Peters' house was smashed.
