The spokesperson of the Ondo police, Funmilayo Odunlami, said upon their return from an outing at about 8:00 p.m., the mother parked the car in front of her house and went out to open the gate leaving the two kids in the vehicle.

“Another car with three occupants suddenly drove up to her. One of the occupants collected her car keys and drove away with the kids still inside the car.
