The NYPD released surveillance video of three of possible four suspects wanted in two violent robberies of youngsters during the holidays. 


The first robbery took place at around 3 pm on December 23 across from the Sack Wern Houses in Soundview. A 14-year-old male was walking down the block when he was approached by four males who demanded his property. Cops said one of the group pulled out a knife and told the teen to hand over his cell phone and wallet. The robbers then ran off with the phone and a wallet containing $40.

Investigators said the same crew struck again at around 2 pm on December 26 across from IS 131 in the vicinity of Underhill Avenue and Story Avenue. A 12-year-boy was approached by two males who demanded his property. The pre-teen refused. 


Cops said the muggers jumped on the young victim, repeatedly punching him. Then they ripped the coat off the 12-year-old and forcibly removed his cell phone. The attackers then ran off in unknown direction.  


The victim sustained minor injuries but refused medical attention.
