BRONX - Four suspects who look like they should be in school are being sought by police in connection with a mugging in the Bronx, cops said. 

The NYPD released surveillance video of the baby faced suspects wanted for an unnerving mugging in Soundview. The suspects appear to be school age and were seen wearing book bags. 

At around 9:50 am on May 6, a 48-year-old was walking in the vicinity of 1139 Colgate Avenue, a residential block filled with attached houses. 

Cops said the group of four young males walked up behind the woman. One of the crew grabbed the woman and placed his hand over her mouth. The other members grabbed the victim’s purse, cellphone and house keys.  

Cops said the robbers were last seen running towards Westchester Avenue.
