Police bodycam footage shows the moment officers used a capybara costume to carry out a drug raid in Peru’s capital Lima.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.” <\/p>\n

Peruvian police have previously dressed their officers up as Marvel characters Spiderman, Captain America, Thor and Black Widow to carry out a drug raid.<\/p>\n
