SINGAPORE: Three men have been arrested on suspicion of having misappropriated about 67 metric tonnes of marine gas fuel worth about S$57,000 on board a Singapore-registered vessel.
Police said the suspects are the superintendent, chief engineer and 3rd engineer of the vessel.
On Thursday (Nov 27), the Police Coast Guard was notified about the missing fuel. Investigators boarded the vessel and seized RMB 50,000 (S$10,600) which is believed to be connected to the case.
The trio will be charged in court on Saturday for criminal breach of trust as a servant. If found guilty, they can be jailed for up to 15 years and fined.
