TAMPA, FL -- Tampa Police are searching for the suspects who robbed a pizza delivery man.

Police say the victim, Phillip Graves, was delivering a Domino's Pizza to a home in Tampa around 11:00 on Monday night when the suspects came out from behind the duplex.

Graves was told to get on the ground and then $20.00 in cash was taken from his pocket. At least one of the victims was armed with what is believed to have been a rifle. Two suspects then kicked the victim numerous times while he was on the ground causing minor injuries.

The suspects then made the victim get up and forced him into the trunk of his own vehicle. The victim pleaded with the suspect not to shoot him because he has a family and kids.

The suspects went through his vehicle and removed a cell phone and additional pizzas once the victim was inside the trunk. The victim managed to use a safety latch in his vehicle to get out of the trunk. He then ran to a nearby Citgo Gas Station to call police.

The victim was taken to the VA hospital for treatment.

Suspect 1 is being described as a black male, 6'1, 140-150 pounds with a thin build and a short afro.

Suspect 2 is a black male wearing a white T-shirt.

Suspect 3 is a black female, 5'6, and 105 pounds with a dark complexion in her early 20's wearing a white dress

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call the Tampa Police Department at 813-231-6130.
