Police need the public's help finding the suspects who stole an American Pitbull puppy from a Bronx resident Tuesday.

When they got there, the suspects showed off their gun and forcibly stole the dog before driving off in a gray four-door sedan.

Anyone with more information on this robbery is asked to call the Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS.
