A pair of thieves snatched a 10-year-old Yorkshire Terrier from her owner’s front lawn in Queens, police said Friday.
The crooks scooped up and drove off with the small $1,200 dog, named Chanel, near 130th St. and 14th Ave. in College Point on Sept. 17, cops said.
Police released a photo of Chanel — relaxing on a lawn — along with photos of the two suspects, which included a heavyset man holding the Yorkie and a woman dressed in black.
Cops also released images of the getaway car: a grey Subaru Forrester.
