A 75-year-old man and a 66-year-old woman suspected of using cocaine and running a prostitution ring out of their apartments in Englewood, New Jersey, have been arrested after residents complained about vagrants, drunks and addicts invading their building.
The suspects are believed to be behind a recent rise in crime that had residents afraid to come out of their apartments at the Vincente K. Tibbs Senior Citizen Building, authorities said. Their growing fears prompted an undercover investigation and new round-the-clock police patrols of the complex.

The 152-unit complex, is exclusively for low-income people 62 and older, and disabled people 55 and older. In late April, police arrested fifth-floor residents James Parham and his neighbour Cheryl Chaney on charges of possession of drug paraphernalia and maintaining a drug nuisance. Chaney faces an additional charge of possession of crack cocaine.
Parham admitted providing prostitutes, mostly young women with crack cocaine addictions, although others are alleged to be elderly residents, to some of his younger neighbours in the building. More charges could be pending.

Which is the man? Which is the woman?
Heh heh, I wondered that myself!
The lady is on the right as you look - with greyer hair and the Jimmy Durante-esque nose.
I think it looks more like a Karl Malden nose. http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2009/jul/02/karl-malden-obituary
That was who I really meant, but couldn't recall his name!
Thanks Shak!
