Scots drug dealers are brazenly selling crystal meth, cocaine and cannabis on classified ads site Craigslist - by listing drugs under the guise of power tools and crockery.
An investigation by our sister site Edinburgh Live has uncovered listings for illicit substances that are written up in the style of ads hawking homeware.
However the text appears to be a means of circumventing Craigslist's automatic moderation filters, which are designed to stop illegal goods and services from being promoted through the site.
While their written description is innocuous, each ad carries a picture showing drug paraphernalia and contact details for the dealers, who demand payment in untraceable cryptocurrency for what they say are Class A substances.
The investigation tracked listings on the capital's section of the popular US-based listings website for six months, with some ads remaining up for weeks at a time without being removed by moderators.
One advert, claiming to be for a bowl, features an image promoting “Carts, Md, Coke, Ice, Pills and Weed,” with a pin number to contact a supplier on Wickr, an instant messaging platform owned by Amazon.
It also lists “crypto” as the preferred form of payment and has remained active on the website for more than three weeks.
A drug charity said the practice is now “routine” with some dealers offering “fast, convenient and straight-to-your-door” deliveries.
Justina Murray, CEO of Scottish Families Affected by Alcohol and Drugs (SFAD), said: “Buying online via a whole range of apps and platforms is now routine, and has been for some time.
“Families tell us how hard it is to know what drugs are being ordered from, or are being delivered to, their family home when it is all so discreet.
