Officers said after the victim was assaulted, the suspects took the young man's phone, wallet and car keys. After interviewing the victim, police said the victim was set up.
The suspects have not been arrested. They added the suspects will face aggravated charges.
Police say the victim was in his late teens and the suspects are of similar in age. Investigators are looking for a 2012-2013 silver Honda Civic.
Officers implore to never provide a ride to strangers.
