The men, all from the Grimsby area, were arrested today at the New Hand Car Wash on the Fairfield Industrial Estate.
The arrested men, who are aged 19, 27 and 49, remain in police custody, according to the Lincolnshire force.
Officers want to speak to anyone who has information they believe could assist with their investigation.
Police have also made a specific plea to witnesses of a possible assault on a worker which is believed to have taken place at the car wash within the last three weeks.
It's claimed an electronic tag which can spot if people have been drinking alcohol has helped to reduce re-offending in Lincolnshire.
The National Centre for Social Research says drinking plays a large part in crime, especially domestic violence.
The tag works by taking a reading from the skin to detect alcohol that is emitted through perspiration.
If the offender has consumed alcohol during the period of the order, potentially they could be returned to court.
Over 200 people from three police force areas, including Lincolnshire, have been tagged during the past two years.

Volunteers say they were shocked and "horrified" when they were first told about the £12,500 increase in the cost of bin collections for the charity.
The charity is now asking people to donate £20 a year to help cover the costs.
Quote MessageI initially thought they'd got their figures wrong on the letter, I thought they put an extra nought on it. I couldn't believe they want to charge us that amount of money for emptying the bins."

Lincolnshire County Council has criticised a motorist for spray painting around a pothole after it ruined her car tyre.
Karan Holland, from Spilsby, had to fork out £53 for a new tyre after driving over it earlier this month.
She says she was so fed up, she went out to buy the paint and sprayed a bug around the hole.
She's hoping it'll help warn other drivers about the pothole, which is located between Halton Holgate and Gunby Roundabout.
Lincolnshire County Council says repairs will now take longer because engineers will have to clean the road and people should report potholes instead.
