The drug squad in Peru had a unique plan to sneak into a dangerous neighbourhood north of Lima undetected: dress up as Santa Claus! It was a success; the head of the National Police Green Squadron, Colonel Walter Palomino, was proud to announce that “Christmas came to the Evil Reindeer.” The two men captured were given the alias 'The Grinch' and 'The Evil Reindeer' by law enforcement.
Santa was armed not with a hessian sack or a gentle smile, but with a sledgehammer. He and his little helpers managed to seize hundreds of packets of marijuana and cocaine paste from the address in Huaral. This wasn’t the first time the police had used costumes to their advantage; last year, in Lima, Father Christmas, Mrs Claus and a group of elves had smashed their way into a dealer’s base, seizing 6,000 packets of cocaine paste, 104 packets of cocaine powder and 279 packs of marijuana.
On Halloween this year, police officers in Lima conducted a drugs bust while dressed as horror film characters Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees and Tiffany, the Bride of Chucky. The police have become experts in using costumes to their advantage, helping to draw attention to their work and keep the public safe.
It’s clear that the police in Peru are getting creative with their tactics, and their efforts have been a success. The drug squad has managed to put a stop to many drug operations in Peru, and it looks like they won’t be stopping any time soon.
