Police were called to Northbridge Plaza on Sailors Bay Road just before 2.20am on Thursday, after reports that the car had been driven through the glass front doors and into the centre.
The car, a red Subaru Liberty wagon, drove a number of metres into the centre and attempted to ram an NAB ATM, Seven News reported.
When it missed, the pair escaped on foot empty-handed, smashing through the centre's rear doors to get out.
Officers from the North Shore Local Area Command have established a crime scene, which they will forensically examine.
The car was removed from the centre about 9am. Police reversed it out before towing it away.
In a Facebook post, Northbridge Plaza management advised shoppers that the centre would be open for business from 9.30am on Thursday.
"We are assisting the police with their investigations and have provided them with CCTV footage. No one was hurt," the post said.
