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.
I absolutely bloody love this. It has Mr Blobby vibes.
I’d totally watch a Police dash cam style show where they dress up as Mr Blobby and go on dawn raids against feckless roustabouts that wear their jeans below their arses. As they storm the doors they all yell.
BLOBBY!!! BLOBBY!!!
I love when the police state has its gestapo dress up in funny outfits to further humiliate the proles it is pressing its boot on and throwing in a small concrete cell for several decades for the crime of getting high!
Well they’ve got less to do since they stopped arresting bears for smuggling marmalade sandwiches.
