The police in Kumasi says upon hearing the complaint, they quickly alert all the mobile patrol teams within the metropolis to be on the lookout.
In an interview with the media, the PRO of the Ashanti Regional Police, Assistant Superintendent, Mr Godwin Ahianyo, said the suspects were given a hot chase by the police and sensing danger, they abandoned the vehicle and fled into the bush.
He noted that the police have, however, mounted a search for the two gunmen who snatched the vehicle from its owner with a baby trapped inside.
