Police are looking for a man who allegedly snatched a necklace from a 13-year-old girl inside her Bronx apartment building last month.

The man grabbed the teen on the second floor of her Soundview home about 2:40 p.m. on Feb. 10 and yanked the chain from her neck, police said.

The thief, who was shown on surveillance footage wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt, then fled the building, police said.

The girl was not injured, police added.
