Peruvian police in capybara gear make Valentine’s drug bust

Advertisements

Police bodycam footage shows the moment officers used a capybara costume to carry out a drug raid in Peru’s capital Lima.

The Escuadron Verde (Green Squad) police group is a specialised unit of the Peruvian National Police who often disguise their agents in fancy dress during festivities such as Valentine’s Day, Halloween and Christmas.

The head of the unit, Col Pedro Rojas, has said: “On this occasion, Valentine’s Day, lover’s day, we sought to camouflage ourselves with the character of the capybara.”

Peruvian police have previously dressed their officers up as Marvel characters Spiderman, Captain America, Thor and Black Widow to carry out a drug raid.
