Ryszard Wilk, Patryk Lukasik and Aleksandr Cherushev are on trial at the High Court in Auckland for importing and dealing 4kg of cocaine in 2016 and 2017.
The three men allegedly shipped and dealt the drug in New Zealand. They deny all seven charges against them.
Detective Mark Pickles, who has been involved in the police investigation into the men over the last four years - dubbed Operation Moa - gave evidence today.
The investigation had previously found a note linked to Wilk's son, Ralph, who has already pleaded guilty to supplying cocaine. The note referenced Michael Joseph Savage Memorial Park. Police visited but did not find anything of interest. Pickles said that area was too broad (the park is 49 acres) so they needed to narrow it down.
