Cops are looking for two men who they say pillaged a Sheepshead Bay neighbor’s Chase Bank account, spending nearly $12,000 of the victim’s funds.

On two separate days last week – Monday, April 13 and Wednesday, April 15 – the two men, whose relationship, if any, is unclear, posed as their 47-year-old male victim and accessed his account. They withdrew a total of $6,500.

On April 15, one of the suspects used the victim’s banking info to go on a shopping spree, spending $263.73 at a Target in Harlem, and $5,000 at an Upper East Side Best Buy.
