BROOKLYN — Cops are searching for two men wanted for robbing three different cellphone stores in Brooklyn and Queens during a week-long spree.

The suspects, in their late teens or early 20s, struck first at a Metro PCS store at 1203 Church Ave., near Westminster Road in Flatbush on March 26 at around 3 p.m., armed with a gun, police said. The men asked for money and fled with an undetermined amount of cash, police said.

Four days later, the suspects allegedly robbed Mobile Wireless Champs at 132-07 Liberty Ave., near 132nd Street, in South Richmond Hill, demanding money, and making off with a bundle of cash.

Then on April 4, the men entered a Metro PCS store at 1056 Flatbush Ave., near Beverley Road, in Flatbush, at around 11:30 am, once again demanding cash and fleeing the scene with an undetermined amount of money.
