Peruvian police use undercover disguises for drug raid

Peruvian police successfully conducted a covert raid on a residence suspected of housing drug traffickers. The operation, documented on video, involved officers using imaginative disguises to approach the target site without alerting the occupants. Due to the proximity of a school and a hospital, police adopted civilian personas to blend into the daily crowd of the area.

During the tactical approach, one officer posed as a student carrying a backpack while pushing another agent seated in a wheelchair. Upon reaching the house, the 'patient' stood up and used a hammer to breach the door. This final assault was preceded by an undercover purchase of cocaine, which allowed the police to gather sufficient evidence of illegal activity to justify the intervention and raid. The operation, which took place around November 12, 2026, relied on precise coordination, including a signal where the student-disguised officer told his colleague to 'get up, Lazarus'.

The mission highlighted the use of non-traditional tactics in urban narcotics enforcement. By integrating with the local pedestrian traffic near public institutions, the authorities minimized the risk of detection and successfully neutralized the threat within the targeted home.
