By Taylor Romine
A family of four is missing after they were "kidnapped against their will" while at a business Monday, the Merced County, California, sheriff's office said in a Facebook post.
The family includes 8-month-old Aroohi Dheri;
her parents, Jasleen Kaur and Jasdeep Singh, and her uncle Amandeep Singh, the sheriff's office said.
They were kidnapped against her will while at a business in the 800 block of South Highway 59 in Merced, the publication says.
Officials said in another Facebook post that the suspect appears to be a fair-skinned man with a shaved head.
The motive is not known at this time, and no contact or rescue has been made, Sheriff Vern Warnke said in a Facebook video.
It appears that whoever is involved in this incident has destroyed evidence to cover his tracks, he added.
"It's imperative that we get some information on this," Warnke said.
“People will work 24 hours on this until we get a break.
The suspect is considered to be armed and dangerous, the sheriff's office said.
CNN has reached out for more information.

India's space agency loses contact with Mars-orbiting spacecraft after 8 years
By CNN's Swati Gupta in New Delhi
India's space agency announced Monday that the ground station lost communication with its Mars Orbiter spacecraft after a long eclipse in April 2022.
During eclipses, the spacecraft's solar cells do not receive sunlight.
A prolonged eclipse can drain the ship's power.
The mission, which was designed to span six months, stretched to almost eight years as it orbited the planet.
In a statement, the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) said: “The propellant must have been depleted and thus the desired attitude to generate sustained power could not be achieved.
The spacecraft has been declared non-recoverable and has reached the end of its useful life.”
The Mars Orbiter Mission was India's first interplanetary program launched in 2013 and was inserted into the orbit of Mars in 2014.
"Equipped with a suit of five science payloads on board, over these eight years, the mission has provided significant scientific understanding of Martian surface features, morphology, as well as the Martian atmosphere and exosphere," the statement said.
ISRO is continuing with multiple missions, including a planned manned flight to the moon.

We explain how the Indonesian tragedy happened 2:42
The police chief in charge of the Indonesian province where 125 people died in a stampede at a soccer stadium apologized Tuesday to the families of the victims.
"As the East Java police chief, I apologize and at the same time I am sorry that there were shortcomings in the security process," East Java Police Chief Inspector General Nico Afinta told a news conference.
"We will evaluate together with the executive committee, then with the Indonesian Football Association," added Nico.
125 people were killed in a stampede on Saturday after police fired tear gas at Kanjuruhan Stadium in Malang, Indonesia.
Police said tear gas was fired after home team supporters "invaded the pitch" after their team's loss and attacked opposing team players and police officers.
