The officers can be seen holding a sledgehammer and wooden bat while huddled around with other cops at the start of the clip.
The cop dressed as Deadpool can then be seen standing beside a woman in front of a haul of narcotics.
He is also filmed escorting her through the streets, before walking with her inside the police station.
Cops seized 54 bags of cocaine, along with 850 packets of coca base paste and 2,000 Peruvian soles (approximately £410), local media said.
The items were displayed during a press conference, with the cops still wearing their superhero outfits.
They stand beside an officer who explains how they were wearing Halloween outfits as they are “specialists at camouflaging”.
He adds that, if it’s Halloween, they will go to the streets of Rimac, giving sweets to children “according to the festivity”.
The officer said: “They knew about a criminal organisation that trafficked drugs.”
The Policía Nacional del Perú posted footage of the incident on X, writing: “The Witches of Alameda family clan falls!
“Dressed as comic book characters, Green Squad agents arrested aliases Muelon, Gorda, Viejita and Pequeña in #Rímac.
“They seized various drugs and confiscated money and other items.”
It comes after four Marvel-loving cops previously made a spectacular drugs bust while dressed as their favourite superheroes.
The Peruvian officers disguised themselves as Spider-Man, Captain America, Thor and the Black Widow to swoop on the coke gang.
They expertly blended in with trick-or-treaters as Halloween celebrations got underway in 2022.
The crime-fighting crusaders strolled down the streets of the San Juan de Lurigancho neighborhood in Lima, under the ruse they were promoting a concert.
The operation – dubbed “Marvel” – led them to a specific house in the area, where they used special equipment to break down a steel door.
The drugs gang initially thought it was a prank when the gang of superheroes burst in – before 10 other officers followed.
Police said three men and a woman were arrested in the drugs raid.
Cops seized a whopping 3,250 small packages of basic cocaine paste – a crude extract of the coca leaf which is then dried and purified before hitting the streets.
One kilo of the paste sells for roughly £330 in Peru, while a kilo of cocaine hydrochloride, the purest form, sells for about £1,000.
The team also found 287 bags of cocaine and 127 bags of marijuana.
