Police said a pair of cold-hearted crooks targeted the young boy's outerwear on a school day afternoon.

HARLEM, NY — A young teenage boy was the victim of a pair of thieves who left him shivering on a cold Harlem street after stealing his sweater, jacket and hat, according to police.
The cold-hearted crooks, who also stole the 13-year-old's iPhone, targeted the young boy as he walked near Broadway and West 137th Street on Jan. 2 at around 4:30 p.m., police said.
After leaving the teen without his phone and warm layers — on a day when temps only barely crept above 40 degrees — the duo fled north on Broadway, according to officials.
