<strong>Mohr and his glamorous bikini model girlfriend</strong></h6>
<p>On the surface 42-year-old Darren Mohr led a charmed life, right in the lap of luxury. His life, documented on social media showed a fit, muscled jet-setter, enjoying the finer things of life. A glamorous bikini girlfriend hanging on his arm, boats, helicopter rides, tooling around in a Cobra super sports car were all part of the glamorous image caught on Instagram of the former cafe owner<br />
The aura created by tattooed , viral Mohr’s of his glittering lifestyle, documented on social media, shows him hiding in plain sight, living it up at exclusive locations, flying around in a helicopter, at a yacht club during the Monaco Grand Prix, and posing with luxury cars, his girlfriend and his pet dog and macaw. Authorities say his girlfriend is not part of the 16-man drug ring.</p>

<p>But the facade Mohr had carefully cultivated of his dream life came to crashing to a halt when he was arrrested in Sydney, on Tuesday.<br />
Mohr, who once owned a cafe which was featured on a hit reality show, is one of 15 men now in custody after police uncovered 600 kg of cocaine on a boat in Sydney’s Parsley Bay.<br />
If convicted, all the men potentially face life imprisonment for the alleged plot to import $187.2 [AU $260] million worth of cocaine from South America.<br />

Acting on a tipoff, authorities set up a 30-month long surveillance on the cartel members at more than a hundred meetings in Sydney cafes and parks, firming up their plan.<br />
According to the <a href="http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/subscribe/news/1/index.html?sourceCode=DTWEB_WRE170_a&;mode=premium&;dest=http:%2F%2Fwww.dailytelegraph.com.au%2Fnews%2Fnsw%2Falleged-cocaine-ring-brought-down-by-police-listening-to-key-players-talking-in-code%2Fnews-story%2Ffe5e7fa0bf76cbad0f390e39ee22174e&;memtype=anonymous" target="_blank">Daily Telegraph</a> the intense investigation sometimes had more than a dozen police officers watch key players using encrypted BlackBerries and talking in code as they discussed logistics of the drug run..<br />
Police claim the drug cartel was bringing the cocaine in from Chile via Tahiti and was using fishing trawlers based at the Sydney Fish Market.</p>

<p>The arrest of the 16 men, all in their 40s, 50s and 60s, began on Christmas Day and continued for three days thereafter in Sydney, Queensland and Tasmania.<br />
Cops monitoring the cartel allege that in the surveillance, the cartel members discussed the logistics &#8211; map locations, recruits, drug finance and the movement of fishing vessels to transport the narcotics.<br />
Police arrested 15 Australians including former rugby league player John Tobin, commercial fisherman Joe Pirello, businessman Richard Lipton, fisherman Stuart Ayrton and a New Zealand citizen, Graham Toa Toa.</p>

The cartel reportedly planned to send out Sydney-based fishing trawlers to meet a larger vessel carrying the drugs from Chile. Investigators said the interception of a 32kg shipment of cocaine earlier in Fiji, did not deter the tenacious group. Instead they further conspired to import three shipments between 400 kg &#8211; 500 kg of cocaine from South America.<br />
The suspects are sceduled to next appear in a Sydney court in March.</p>
