POLICE have blown open a major cocaine ring worth hundreds of millions of dollars operating out of the Sydney Fish Market, resulting in the arrest of more than a dozen men.

The arrests, made during a series of Christmas Day raids, come after a two-and-a-half year investigation by the NSW Police Drug Squad and Australian Federal Police.

The top-secret investigation targeted commercial fishermen who were allegedly using fishing trawlers to move cocaine from Chile to Australia, the Daily Telegraph reports.

The amount seized on Christmas night was approximately 500 kilograms of cocaine, NSW police confirmed in a media release, estimated to be worth $162 million.

More than 600 kilograms of cocaine was seized in Tahiti which was destined for Australia, estimated to be worth approximately $197 million.

This amount of cocaine seized in total has an estimated street value of approximately $360 million, according to police.

Additionally, 15 men allegedly involved in the Australian criminal syndicate responsible for the attempted importations have been charged with serious drug importation offences. They range in age from 29 to 63 years, and have all been refused bail.

One of the 15 men targeted in the sting is a former NRL star and a Bondi cafe king, according to the Daily Telegraph.

Images released by police show multiple men standing in handcuffs in the dark while on-board a fishing vessel named Dalrymple. Their faces have been blurred.
