3mar Posted July 23, 2017 Author Share Posted July 23, 2017 The gang had purchased land adjacent to the refinery and dug a tunnel to tap the pipeline owned by state-run Hindustan Petroleum. He said the drivers were authorised to carry water — a byproduct in oil exploration — from exploration sites for dumping but some of the tankers were filled with crude instead. The drivers were disabling their GPS devices to avoid tracking and detection. More than 30 trucks have been seized, with numbers likely to grow, police said. The oil was sold to two small factory owners nearby, who stockpiled the crude in underground tanks before selling it on to clients across India. The stolen oil was used in road construction and diesel production, police said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
