Four alleged car thieves were this morning nabbed along the Mandela Highway in the vicinity of Six Miles.
The three men and a woman were held by a team from the Duhaney Park Police Station.
Superintendent Hopton Nicholson, Acting Commanding Officer for the St. Catherine South Police Division, said the police received information that a woman was robbed of her car in Portmore sometime after 6:00 a.m.
According to Superintendent Nicholson, the woman was on her way to work when another vehicle intercepted her motor car. Men alighted that vehicle and demanded she exit her car.
The men then allegedly "threw" her child and mother from the vehicle and stole it.
The police were alerted and the car was eventually intercepted by the St. Andrew South Police in the Six Mile area.
Superintendent Nicholson lauded the police for quickly responding and recovering the vehicle.
The affected woman - later identified as a member of the Jamaica Constabulary Force - and her daughter were taken to a medical facility for treatment.
Senior Superintendent Kirk Ricketts, Commanding Officer for the St. Andrew South Police Division, told Radio Jamaica News that the four people arrested are all from the St. Andrew South division - three from Whitfield Town and one from Mandela Town.
He said two of the men are well known to the police, with one from Whitfield Town only just being released from the Duhaney Park police lock-up on Sunday night after he was held for reasonable suspicion of gang related activities.
