Police said a Holden sedan crashed into the former antique shop in Hogan St, Tatura, and another heritage-listed shopfront next door at about 11.30pm.

CCTV showed the car allegedly doing a burnout before it crashed into the two buildings.

The vehicle then fled the scene, police said.

Both buildings were being used as converted residences, with the occupants at home, police said.
