Drug dealers in Europe are adapting to 'the new normal' through fake food-delivery services — via TheGrowthOp
Changing times demand changing strategies, even for small-time drug dealers in Europe. Amid a pandemic that has eagle-eyed cops enforcing lockdowns and making empty streets impossible places to blend in, dealers are finding inventive ways to maintain their businesses.

Amid COVID-19, delivery and pick-up is the new normal, but even this solution didn’t last long.
