Cops are hunting two men suspected of snatching necklaces off the necks of teens in Homecrest on Monday.

The victims, ages 16 and 17 years old, told police the crooks shouted “you robbed my little brother” on Quentin Road near E. 16th Street at 11:48 a.m. on Sept. 9, before yanking their necklaces off.

The thieves then fled into a black BMW, before peeling off heading north along Kings Highway, according to police.
