A Peruvian police officer disguised as the Grinch helmed a successful raid against a suspected drug trafficking ring in southern Lima after infiltrating a public Christmas event in character.
The officer, part of the Green Squadron, a specialized unit of Peru's Special Operations Division, went "unnoticed" in the San Bartolo neighborhood after participating in a Christmas-themed community event, ABC reported. The clever ruse allowed law enforcement to maintain a low profile before launching the raid.
