Police are searching for two men they believe robbed a teen at gunpoint in the Parkchester section of the Bronx last month.

Police say the 17-year-old victim was near Purdy Street and Maple Drive around 8 p.m. on December 20 when the two men approached him.

Authorities say the suspects demanded he turn over his belongings, and threatened him with a gun before taking his jewelry and cellphone.

Both suspects are said to be in their 20s.

One suspect, seen above left, is about 5-feet-10-inches tall and 180 pounds and was wearing jeans, a brown coat and a blue Nautica baseball cap.

The other suspect is about 5-feet-8-inches tall and 170 pounds and was wearing black jeans and a blue leather jacket over a black hoodie.

Anyone with information on the case should contact the Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS, or text CRIMES and then enter TIP577, or visit www.nypdcrimestoppers.com.
