    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.
