At least 50 times since 2002, New York City police have swooped down on a modest house in Brooklyn in search of bad guys, only to find they have the wrong house and an increasingly frustrated retired couple , the New York Daily News reports.
The most recent visit was 7:30 a.m. Tuesday.
No one — not the cops nor the homeowners, Walter Martin, 83, and his wife, Rose, 82 — can figure out why, the newspaper says.
It all started in 2002, five years after the Martins bought the Marine Park house, when they began getting junk mail, court documents and arrest warrants for a large number of strangers, the News says.
Then cops — from as far away as North Bronx and Staten Island — started banging on their door looking for murder and robbery suspects as often as three times a week.
