A trio of cold-hearted thieves stole a woman’s two puppies on a Bronx street earlier this month and the pets still haven’t been reunited with their owner, police said.
The three suspects and the 42-year-old victim had gotten into an argument at around 11 a.m. on Aug. 1 on Southern Boulevard near the intersection with Jennings Street, the NYPD said Wednesday.
The woman then went inside a building and when she came out with her two pit bull puppies, the three followed her, according to police and sources.
A male suspect punched her in the face while his two accomplices grabbed the dogs and took off.
The three fled with the pups southbound on Southern Boulevard, cops said.
The dog owner suffered unspecified injuries to her face, but refused medical attention at the scene.
The thieves remain at large and the dogs have not been located, according to the NYPD.
Police released photos of the suspects Wednesday as they continue their investigation. They also sent out photos of the two stolen dogs, a brown pit bull and a black-and-white spotted pit bull.
The NYPD is asking anyone with information about the theft or the suspects to call its Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
