The Range Rover then struck multiple unoccupied parked cars, and a trailer - causing one vehicle to hit a front fence of Learning Through Play Pre-School and Long Day Care Centre.

A group of people got out of the Range Rover and ran away and despite a search by Parramatta police, they escaped.

Cumberland police have established a crime scene.

Initial inquiries reveal the Range Rover was stolen from a home in Granville last night.
