In early July, Berlin police issued a warning about colorful drug packets being left in residential mailboxes, signaling a new method of illicit distribution in the city. By the end of the month, authorities reported that drug dealers had escalated the tactic by distributing flyers in the same mailboxes. These flyers advertised “kokstaxis,” taxi services that deliver cocaine and other narcotics, and included phone numbers, QR codes and WhatsApp contacts for ordering. Police noted the practice is widespread around party districts and represents a broader trend of dealers using both physical and digital advertising to reach customers, violating Germany’s narcotics law.
