Campsie police said two men in a Silver Suburu Forrester smashed through the front glass doors of the Riverwood Inn on Josephine Street about 6am.

A cleaner working in the restaurant stayed out the back of the hotel until the offenders left.

Security footage showed the two men reverse the car into the hotel, crashing into several chairs and tables.

They took a cigarette machine and forced it into the boot of the car before driving out of the main entrance onto Josephine Street.

The car was last seen travelling east towards Bonds Road, Riverwood.

Police said the men were only described as wearing dark clothes.
