Helsingborg District Court has sentenced eight people for different roles in the Billesholm hash-cake operation run from a flat used as a cannabis factory.[1] The leading man, aged 18 to 19, received seven years and six months in prison for serious drug crime and involving minors, after arranging premises and equipment and recruiting young runners.[1] Five of those punished are teenagers.[2] Six others received prison terms ranging from 11 months to three years and six months for serious drug crime or assisting it, and a 16-year-old boy received youth service.[1] One defendant was acquitted of the charges.[1]
Police raided the Billesholm flat in January 2026 as part of an investigation into organised drug activity in the area.[1] In the almost empty flat, police found equipment for mixing, weighing and selling hash cakes.[1] In the flat, imported industrial hemp was mixed with cannabis and THC preparations, then pressed into new hash cakes that were labelled to look like branded products and vacuum-packed for sale.[1] At the first flat on Nygatan, police found almost 19 kilos of cannabis resin during a search on 12 November 2025.[3]
The hash cakes were diluted with industrial hemp, so bulk hemp is not counted in the cannabis total.[1] The investigation continues against another man who was recently extradited from Kosovo to Sweden and is in custody.[1] The operation ran for about half a year from the Billesholm flat, which served as storage and factory.[2]
