The men reportedly seized Kutlwano and sped off, leaving the mother distraught.
Gauteng Police have launched a manhunt for a two-year-old who was reportedly snatched from his mother on Wednesday.
Kutlwano Shalaba and his mother were getting off a taxi in Tshirela, near the Dr Nhlapo stop sign, in Boipatong when three men approached them in a silver-grey VW Polo.
Sergeant Thembeka Maxambela said the suspects grabbed the child and sped off in the car, leaving his mother devastated.
A source said the mother, 38-year-old Keneiwe Shalaba, was “not okay” and did not sleep with worry over her child.
Maxambela told The Citizen that no arrests have been made and investigations are ongoing.
Police have called on the public to help find the child.
“Police urge anyone with relevant information to come forward and contact branch commander Captain Mokgoto at 082 778 7937 immediately, or Sergeant Thembeka Maxambela at 079 695 1338.”
