A policeman in Peru chose an interesting costume to capture an alleged drug dealer in capital Lima. The BBC said that the undercover cop took part in the operation dressed as a teddy bear and carried a fake box of chocolates to the house of the target. The operation was carried out on Valentine's Day. According to a video released by Peru's national police agency, a woman is seen leaving the house, before she is pinned down by the police. The police later carried out a thorough search of the house and found a bag containing drugs under a mattress.

Two women were arrested at the end of the raid, the BBC further said. One of them was handcuffed by the officer, who was without the mask but still wearing the teddy bear costume.
London Evening Standard said that the police also recovered more than 1,000 packages of cocaine paste from the house.
"Can you imagine a triple-plush teddy bear captured a drug dealer? On the day of love and friendship?" it quoted Peruvian National Police spokesman Jose Honorio as saying.
The police officer in disguise held a sign saying 'You are my reason to smile' and the suspect mistakenly thought it was her partner.
The raid was carried out by Peru's Escuadron Verde (Green Squad) - a plainclothes unit dedicated to fighting street crimes, including robberies and drug dealing.
