The Grinch is busy as Christmas approaches, not stealing gifts, no, he’s cracking down on the naughty list, according to Peru’s National Police. On Sunday, Dec. 22, a police officer in Lima, Peru, disguised as the Grinch, reportedly led a law enforcement operation aimed at putting suspected members of a drug trafficking gang behind bars.
Peru’s National Police Agency released a video showing the drug raid. In the video, the Grinch is seen running down the street with a sledgehammer before breaking down a door to a building.
After gaining access to the building, the Grinch allegedly finds a stash of drugs. The video ends with the Grinch handcuffing a woman in the home.
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.
