"You're working for us tonight:" Lyft driver forced to chauffeur 4 suspects during 11-hour crime spree



TAMPA, Florida -- Police in Florida are investigating a terrifying kidnapping and robbery of a Lyft driver that lasted 11 hours.

According to police, the victim was forced to drive four suspects around while they committed numerous retail thefts and narcotic drugs law violations.

The driver, who wished to stay anonymous, said he picked up the criminals on East Diana Street around 11:00 p.m. on Tuesday, December 20th.

The person in the front seat showed him a gun and said, "You're working for us tonight."

The driver told police he was forced to drive to at least 30 different locations for drug transactions and different retail thefts. At each stop, one of the criminals would always stay in the car with him.

He said the criminals were also smoking marijuana in his vehicle during the ordeal.

While driving, the criminals would type addresses into his cell phone GPS app, telling him to go to the addresses. They also used his cell phone to take pictures of themselves.

One of the criminals sent the pictures to his Facebook page using the victim's cell phone.

The driver says he drove approximately 350 miles with the criminals inside.

At around 10:00 a.m next morning, the driver dropped the four back off on East Diana Street. He said they told him they would kill him if he called police, but he flagged down an officer nearby.

Two of the criminals were found playing basketball at a park about a block-and-a-half away. Police arrested Aaron Diggs, 18, and Willie Brown III, 18.

Two of the suspects have not yet been arrested.
