The operation in San Bartolo in Lima resulted in the arrest of three suspects, according to a video posted online by the Peruvian National Police.

“In an ingenious operation, agents of the Green Squad arrested the aliases La Reina del Sur, La Coneja and Pote, alleged members of the La Mafia de San Bartolo gang, dedicated to drug dealing,” a police post on X states. “Various narcotics were seized.”

Using what appeared to be a sledgehammer, the officer walked down the street dressed as the infamous Christmas villain with a small heart before breaking down the front door of a home and entering, according to the video footage.

The suspects were arrested, and the “Grinch” is seen rummaging through various items in the home before finding what authorities said were illegal drugs and other items related to drug trafficking.

Peru is the second-largest producer of cocaine and cultivator of coca in the world, according to the State Department.

“The majority of cocaine produced in Peru is transported to South American countries for domestic consumption, or for onward shipment to Europe, the United States, East Asia, and Mexico,” the State Department website said.

Peru’s national police force has carried out similar operations in the past.

On Halloween 2023, officers disguised as horror favourites Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees and Tiffany Valentine, the murderous doll in the Child’s Play series, also broke into the home of alleged drug dealers. (Fox news)
