Four men aged between 19 and 50 were arrested last week as a part of Operation Nova, which started in late December.
They appeared in the Auckland District Court last week on drug and money laundering charges.
New Zealand police discovered 11-kilograms hidden in cooking appliances, with a street value of 5.5-million-dollars.
Meanwhile, Police in Fiji have executed search warrants and detained people linked to the group.
They seized 39-kilograms of cocaine at one Suva address, and a Canadian man has been arrested.
He is believed to be connected to the group arrested in New Zealand.
Police say the investigation is ongoing and can't rule out further charges.
