Peruvian police dressed up as 2026 World Cup mascots to arrest a drug trafficking suspect.
Sport.Biz reports this with reference to "The Athletic" newspaper.
The police discovered that the suspect was a big football fan and this allowed them to approach him without arousing suspicion during the raid. During the raid, the police almost lost consciousness, but the operation went according to plan.
The 2026 World Cup will be held in the USA, Canada, and Mexico from June 11 to July 19. Argentina is the current world champion.
