March 3rd 2025.
The scene at the carnival was a colorful one, with revelers dressed up in all sorts of fancy costumes. Little did they know, among the crowd were a group of undercover police officers, fully decked out in Power Rangers outfits. It was an unusual sight, but little did they know that these officers would end up saving the day.
As the festivities went on, chaos erupted when a suspected thief was spotted in the midst of the crowd. But before anyone could react, a Power Ranger swooped in and made the arrest. It was a moment that caught everyone by surprise, but also left them in awe. It wasn't just one Power Ranger, but a whole team of them, along with other officers dressed up in costumes.
The suspect was quickly pinned to the ground, surrounded by half a dozen officers. Onlookers couldn't believe their eyes as they witnessed the arrest unfold. They even took out their phones to capture the moment on camera. The police officers laid out seven stolen mobile phones in front of the culprit, which were said to have been taken from unsuspecting carnival-goers.
The Sao Paulo state's Public Security Ministry shared footage of the arrest and praised the efforts of the officers. They mentioned how the carnival cry was now a cry of relief for a population that had grown tired of crime and impunity. The suspect was handed over to the courts and the stolen phones were recovered. It was a successful team effort, thanks to the support of the Civil Police Power Rangers and the military police officers.
But the job wasn't done yet. The Sao Paulo police were still on the hunt for a second suspect who had fled before the arrest was made. It was a challenging task, but they were determined to bring him to justice. This wasn't the first time that undercover officers had used fancy dress to identify and apprehend criminals at the carnival. In fact, the previous year, it had proved to be quite effective in reducing the number of thefts.
The Brazilian state had seen a staggering number of almost 900 mobile phone thefts during pre-carnival events just the weekend before. This was a major concern for authorities, who were constantly trying to come up with new ways to tackle crime. Meanwhile, in Peru, the Escuadron Verde, also known as the Green Squad, had their own unique approach. On special occasions, they would dress up in costumes, such as Marvel heroes Spiderman, Captain America, and Thor, to carry out drug raids.
But this year, they decided to take it up a notch by enlisting the help of the world's largest rodent – the capybara. Bodycam footage showed one of the officers dressed up in a capybara costume, complete with a green turtle backpack, as they carried out a bust in the capital city of Lima. It was certainly a memorable Valentine's Day for the Green Squad and a creative way to catch criminals.
