You do NOT wanna be on this Santa's naughty list.

Watch as two undercover Peruvian police officers, dressed as Santa and his elf, bust through the door of a drug dealer's apartment and take him down.

Santa wielded a sledgehammer, and he and his elf both wore flak jackets under their holly, jolly Christmas outfits.

"The tactic of launching raids particularly to take down drug gangs using operatives in dress-up is a common tactic of Peruvian police to assure the element of surprise which, they say, has brought some notable successes in recent years." - Reuters

Is it just me, or is a hammer-wielding Santa something less than inconspicuous? I dunno. I guess you can't argue with success.
