FLUSHING — The New York Police Department reached out for help to find a duo wanted in connection with a grand larceny within the 109th Precinct.

The suspects — a man in his mid-40s standing about 5-foot-6 and a woman standing about 5-foot-4 — worked together to steal a woman’s cellphone at the Sky View Cleaners on Main Street around 5:25 p.m. Oct. 31, police said. The woman reached into the female victim’s bag while the man blocked the clerk’s view, cops said, before the suspects both fled on foot.
