Singapore police have so far arrested 17 men, aged between 30 and 63, for their suspected involvement in misappropriating fuel from Shell Bukom.
The investigation began after Shell contacted the authorities in August 2017, police said in a news release.
There were three incidents of gasoil theft that occurred in November 2017, and on January 5 and January 7 this year, according to the court documents.
The theft resulted in about 4,384 metric tonnes of gasoil, valued at S$2.4 million, being stolen from Shell's refinery.
