Queens detectives say they are still on the hunt for two dognappers who made off with a pooch from a College Point home last month. According to police sources, the 10-year-old female Yorkshire Terrier named "Chanel" was roaming the front lawn of a residence near 130th Street and 14th Avenue on Sept. 17, when at around 6 p.m. a man and woman approached the pup. The pair scooped the dog from the lawn and bundled it into a 2014 Subaru Forester. The couple was last seen driving away westbound on 14th Avenue. No injuries were reported as a result of the incident.  "Chanel" belonged to a 47-year-old woman who was not with the dog at the time of the theft. The dog is valued at $1,200 and is being considered a Grand Larceny.
