MANHATTAN — A Red Sox fan working in concert with a Yankees booster stole a box of cigars, an iPad and $200 at gunpoint from an East Harlem bodega as another pair stood watch outside, police said.

In a rare instance of AL East solidarity, two of the suspects acted as lookouts outside 106 Candy and Convenience at 232 E. 106th St. while the two others, showing divided team loyalties, went inside to rob an 18-year-old man behind the counter about 3:45 a.m. Monday, NYPD officials said.

Police released surveillance footage of the suspects on Tuesday.

The suspects, who were all described as being in their early 20s, fled and hadn't been arrested as of Wednesday morning, police said.

Anyone with information should contact Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS (8477).
