Three Fijians who are alleged to be associated with a gang supplying drugs in Sydney have been refused bail by the court.

28-year-old Eparama Nevale, 28-year-old William Ravoka, and 24-year-old George Sukanaivalu, who are alleged to be linked to the KVT gang, were arrested on Tuesday.

During the search warrants, detectives located and seized about 40 kilograms of illicit drugs with an estimated street value of AUD$12.5 million which is equivalent to FJD$18.61 million.

The charges relate to the alleged supply of about 55kg of illicit drugs, with an estimated street value of AUD$16.5 million which is equivalent to FJD$24 million.

All three men are facing multiple charges.

The three appeared separately in Liverpool Local Court, Penrith Local Court and Sutherland Local Court.

In September, strike force detectives from NSW Police began investigations into the alleged drug-supply activities of the three men linked to the KVT gang.

The matter has been adjourned to January next year.
