In March 2021, the police begin the major reconnaissance operation, which has been named Operation Kuba, after several major drug sales were identified in Åhus, Osby and Stockholm.
On March 25, 2021, the police follow how two men who are identified as two of the main men in the tangle hand over nearly 90 kilos of amphetamine to a buyer in Kristianstad.
The buyer is arrested the same day.

Two days later, a property in Osby is identified as an amphetamine factory.
Secret camera surveillance captures a man with Blekinge connections at the scene.
Just five days later, the police can see how several people are cleaning out the property to change the manufacturing location.

On April 6, police detectives follow the Osby man and the Bleking woman all the way from Blekinge to Värmdö outside Stockholm, where they can be seen handing over 60 kilos of amphetamines to another man.
The buyer is arrested, but the Osby man and the Bleking woman are allowed to continue, unaware of what happened.

The sellers are followed to the barn in Sölvesborg, which is identified as a new manufacturing site.
With secret cameras, the police can follow a large number of people and vehicles moving around the stables, around the clock.

On May 24, 2021, the police see the Blekingeman and the Osbyman leaving the barn in a black car.
In a parking lot near the Sweden Rock area, they see how the men meet another car, and lift heavy boxes over to the trunk.

After being driven shakily on the E22, the other car is stopped by a police patrol on routine patrol.
90 kilos of amphetamine are found in the luggage.
That same evening, the police and prosecutor decide to strike.
