Officers from the Peruvian National Police’s Green Squad disguised themselves as 2026 World Cup mascots during a dramatic drug raid in Peru.

Two of the police officers dressed up as Maple the Moose and Clutch the Bald Eagle, before entering the home of a suspected drug dealer in a Lima neighbourhood.

The head of the squad, Colonel Carlos Fredy Alcántara Obregón, told AP that the arrest was of a “die-hard football fan, living and breathing the World Cup fever”.

He said the officers dressed up “in order to approach him without arousing suspicion and make the arrest”.
