The Ohio license plate number is GQA 6783. Anyone who sees this car is asked to call Miami Twp. police immediately at 937-225-4357.
Miami Twp. Police Department Public Information Officer Pat McCoy said recovery of the car – even if it is abandoned – may be important in arresting the thief.
Carjackings “are quite solvable if we get some evidence,” he said.

The victim was shaken up about the crime but appeared to be uninjured after witnesses said the suspect sought to force her into the cars.
The man who took car was seen speeding out of the parking lot and headed down Ohio 725, according to one 911 caller.
Another 911 caller from Jefferson Twp. said he later saw the car speeding up Interstate 75 and going west on U.S. 35 after apparently having fled police.
