NEW YORK — The police commissioner personally apologized Friday for the 50 or so mistaken, door-pounding visits that police have made to the home of a bewildered elderly Brooklyn couple in the past eight years.
It seems a glitch in computer records had led them over and over to Walter and Rose Martin’s home. The most recent intrusion came Tuesday, with officers pounding on both the front and back doors, yelling, “Police, open up!”
On Thursday, detectives from the NYPD’s Identity Theft Squad went to see the Martins again — this time to apologize. “And we wanted to be sure perps weren’t using that address for identity theft,” said NYPD Deputy Commissioner Paul Browne.
