A man robbed two people who gave him a ride to 1801 S. John St. Thursday afternoon after offering to give them gas money if they gave him a lift.

A police report said a man the two victims know only as "Ceasar" offered $10 in gas money for a ride.

When they pulled up to 1801 S. John St., the man instead brandished a gun and demanded money from them.

He then made off in a white Cadillac with $150 he took from the two victims.

The Cadillac had a 30-day temporary tag on it, according to the police report.
