The man said the trio took off with $700, his watch, a ring, identification cards, and his clothes.

Shortly after 3 a.m. on Saturday the man called police.

He then led officers to the site of the robbery where police said they were able to photograph tire tracks of the vehicle believed to have been involved in the kidnapping.
