The Peruvian police took advantage of Valentine's Day to catch two drug traffickers.
As?
Through the “
care bear
” strategy.
The recreation of the moment, carried out by the midday edition of Willax Noticias, went viral in the last few hours.
There is also the original video of the operation.
The Terna Group of the National Police dealt a strong blow to the micro-marketing of drugs in the district of San Martín de Porres (SMP), in Lima.
The captured drug traffickers would be known as
La romantica
and
La toxica , according to what Commissioner
Walter Palomino
told the aforementioned news program
.
The Terna Group seized 1,500 PBC (cocaine base paste) posing as a Valentine's Day “care bear,” reported the squad leader.
The police officer referred to the viral moment as “a recreation of yesterday.”
The captured drug traffickers had a criminal record, as did the husband of one of them.
When asked about the particular capture technique, Palomino said: “
We operate camouflaged so that the criminal does not notice
.”
And he continued: “
The criminals turn themselves in to us because we are camouflaged
.
"They thought they were sending them chocolates or roses for the day of love and instead of the roses we brought them some shackles."
The original video
In the original video of the operation you can see how the police officer dressed as a teddy bear serves as “bait” to catch the women.
