Florida Men Caught Posing as Rideshare Drivers to Pick Up Drunk Nightclub Patrons and Rob Them at Gunpoint: Police

Two Florida men posing as rideshare drivers are now facing charges after allegedly robbing their drunken customers after picking them up from nightclubs, according to a report.

Fevry Gentillon and Kerbert Jean targeted intoxicated clubgoers outside Twist. One would deny service to drunk patrons asking for a ride and tip the other one off to jump in, according to reporting by WSVN 7News.

"That driver would then lure the intoxicated victim inside of his vehicle, drive off to other locations throughout the city or around Miami-Dade County, rob them at gunpoint, and, oftentimes, utilize their credit cards at different ATM machines," Miami Beach Police Officer Chriss Bess told WSVN 7News.

Deputies connected the dots after multiple people filed similar police reports and an investigation led them to Gentillon and Jean.

They were arrested on Thursday on multiple charges, including kidnapping, armed robbery, and credit card fraud.

On Friday, a judge denied bond for the pair.
