On Halloween in Peru, four men dressed as Spider-Man, Captain America, Thor and Black Widow break into a house full of drug dealers. Although the drug traffickers are initially happy to see the ‘Avengers’, they are not happy when the men reveal themselves to be policemen.
According to The Sun, officers seized 3,250 small packages of basic cocaine, a crude coca leaf extract, 287 bags of cocaine, and 127 bags of marijuana.
The Instagram video shows ‘The Avengers’ breaking into a residence in the neighborhood of San Juan de Lorigancho. The video shows Captain America breaking down a door with Thor’s hammer. Cops are shown bravely breaking up gangs, confiscating drugs, handcuffing and arresting drug dealers.

The operation was dubbed “Marvel” and police arrested three men and one woman. According to police, residents were taken back and initially thought it was a Halloween prank, SBS News reported.
“In that building there was an entire family devoting themselves to the micro-commercialization of drugs. The drugs were being sold in a nearby park,” Colonel David Villanueva told sources.
According to the report, a kilo of cocaine paste costs around $380 (£330) in Peru, while a kilo of cocaine hydrochloride costs around $1,000 (£869). Locals gathered outside the residence watched in amazement as men dressed as ‘Avengers’ caught the four criminals. According to the report, Peruvian police often use this tactic to catch drug syndicates in disguise.
