    A trio of cold-hearted thieves stole a woman’s two puppies on a Bronx street earlier this month and the pets still haven’t been reunited with their owner, police said.

    The three suspects and the 42-year-old victim had gotten into an argument at around 11 a.m. on Aug. 1 on Southern Boulevard near the intersection with Jennings Street, the NYPD said Wednesday.

    The woman then went inside a building and when she came out with her two pit bull puppies, the three followed her, according to police and sources.

    A male suspect punched her in the face while his two accomplices grabbed the dogs and took off.

    The three fled with the pups southbound on Southern Boulevard, cops said.

    The thieves remain at large and the dogs have not been located, according to the NYPD.
