A group of police officers dressed as terrifying Halloween characters arrested two people allegedly engaged in drug dealing in Lima
Agents disguised as Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, and Tiffany Valentine, the Bride of Chucky, broke into the home of a family of alleged drug dealers in San Juan de Lurigancho, northeast Lima on Tuesday night, 31 October.
"Taking advantage of the Halloween holiday, we have mimicked various characters, such as 'Jason, Freddy, Tiffany' in order to go unnoticed and take advantage of the surprise factor, catching criminals in the act," said Walter Palomino, the Colonel of Peruvian National Police.
Two people were arrested as suspects, according to the police, all members of the "Clan Balboa" gang, a family group dedicated to the drug sale in the neighbourhood.
Police said they seized 1,568 small packets of cocaine and cash in the operation.
