In the video, police announce they’ve captured three accused drug dealers in the raid. The video also shows the Grinch standing next to what appears to be drugs and cash confiscated during the operation.
Authorities didn’t release the identities of those arrested. However, they did say they found packages of cocaine hydrochloride and cocaine paste, as well as measuring instruments.
The operation is part of Peru’s police tradition of dressing undercover agents as holiday characters during Christmas, Halloween and even Valentine’s Day.
