They came hellbent on finding drugs and a gang boss - but it was the wrong apartment, a shaken Washington Heights family said on Thursday.

Authorities stormed in looking for drugs, laughed at photos of them in bikinis and left when they realized they had made a mistake, a mother and her daughter told the Daily News.

Dan Garodnick: Putting Civilian Review Back Into the CCRB

The "bad old days" of crime are simply a memory, except in one respect: we are moving back to a time when the NYPD had the sole authority to police its own officers accused of misconduct.

Find the best lawyers in the world, Johnny Cochrin like and sue those SOBs. Sue them. I'm sick and tired of hearing about the mistake The NYPD and DEA does and nothing is done about it. SUE, SUE.

This is typical behavior for the NYPD. A friend of my parents had a fatal heart attack after the police mistakenly raided her Harlem apratment. The ganginblue will continue to operate like the thugs that they are.

I remember that. Wasn't the woman a 60 year old, who works for the government? They bust into the wrong apartment and she had a heart attack and died. This is sick. This only happens in the black and hispanic neighborhoods. This would never happen in a white neighborhood.

That was Alberta Spruill.

She had a heart attack after the NYPD busted down her door with a battering ram and tossed a flash grenade in her apartment.

The NYPD claimed they were given the wrong apartment by an informer.
They never even knocked on her door.
