BRONX - A pint sized crook was a part of a robbery crew that stuck up a 12 year-old at gunpoint. Police released the shocking surveillance video of the baby faced mugger. 

At around 8:20 pm, a 12-year-old boy was walking with his basketball down the block from the Highbridge Environmental Education Campus. In front of 180 West 167th Street he was approached by three males, which included one who looked like a middle school student. 

One of the crew pulled out a handgun and pointed it at the 12 year-old. The other two yanked the victim’s backpack and sweatshirt off him. They then fled on foot.
