Dive into the gripping true story of Sweden's largest cannabis plantation bust. Through the eyes of police investigators, witnesses, and experts, unravel the riveting tale of discovery, investigation, and the pursuit of justice.
In the summer of 2019, a quiet rural corner of Sweden became the unlikely scene of a record-breaking drug bust. Nestled among the rolling fields of Västergötland, the old farm Knipan drew police attention after locals noticed strange activity - unfamiliar men frequenting hardware stores, diesel generators humming deep into the night, and an unusually high electricity bill.
What began as a routine investigation soon spiraled into one of Sweden’s most significant drug cases. When police finally raided the farm, they were met with an astonishing sight: over 3,000 cannabis plants thriving in a hidden grow operation worth over 20 million SEK on the street, the largest cultivation site ever analysed by Sweden’s National Forensics Centre.
As detectives dug deeper, the trail led them far beyond the fields of Lekåsa, straight to one of Gothenburg’s most feared criminal networks. Operation Cannabis is a gripping true crime documentary that unearths how organised crime took root in the Swedish countryside, and how meticulous police work brought it to light.
