The operation took place in the country's capital, Lima. Police were hunting for 48-year-old Carlos Cabrera, who was suspected of illegal drug distribution.

Law enforcement officers knew in advance that the man was a big football fan and on the opening day of the World Cup, he would be at home in front of the TV to watch the opening ceremony and the first match of the tournament between the national teams of Mexico and South Africa.

Taking advantage of this, the police officers put on costumes of two championship mascots — Maple the moose, representing Canada, and Clutch the bald eagle, a symbol of the United States. In this guise, they approached the suspect's home and carried out the arrest.

According to reports, the police broke into Cabrera's dwelling, kicking down the door. The man was detained on the spot. During the search, officers found more than two and a half thousand small packages with narcotic substances, as well as a pistol.

This operation received significant media attention due to the unusual method of police disguise. The use of popular character costumes allowed them not to attract unnecessary attention and to capitalize on the suspect's interest in the football festival.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup began on June 11 and for the first time is being held simultaneously in three countries — the United States of America, Mexico, and Canada. Among its official mascots are Maple the moose from Canada, Zayu the jaguar from Mexico, and Clutch the bald eagle from the USA.

The first game of the tournament took place on June 11 at the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City, where the Mexican national team defeated the South African Republic team with a score of 2:0.
