Goons mug B’klyn boy, 9

- Amanda Woods

Police are looking for two crooks who mugged a 9year-old boy at a Brooklyn Target store earlier this month, cops said Thursday.

The child was shopping at the Atlantic Terminal Mall on Flatbush Avenue Jan. 10, holding what looked to be a toy lightsaber, when the two thieves approached and started chatting with him.

A video of the incident shows both men going down an elevator with the boy. Cops say they convinced him to go with them to an unspecifie­d location.

Outside the Target, one of the men placed his hand over the boy’s mouth while the other swiped $282 from his pocket. They left the lightsaber and fled. It’s not clear why the boy had so much cash.
