Two crooks put their hand over a 9-year-old boy’s mouth at a Brooklyn Target store before swiping a wad of cash from his pocket last week, cops said on Thursday.

The young victim was shopping in the Target at the Atlantic Terminal Mall on Flatbush Avenue on Jan. 10 around 5:30 p.m., holding what looked to be a toy light-saber, when surveillance video shows him attempting to pick up an item that fell off a shelf.

One of the thieves approached him and helped place the item back on the shelf before another man approached and both started chatting with the boy.

The video then shows both men going down an elevator with the boy, and cops say they convinced him to go with them to an unspecified location.

Outside the Target, one of the suspects placed his hand over the boy’s mouth while the other swiped $282 from his pocket, according to police.

Cops say the boy was not injured.
