When the police asked Perroud to cross check the purchases against the entries made by the store, he ran swiftly towards the door while punching down the security guards. When the police officers tracked him, Perroud punched them in the chest too.
Perroud made his way to the parking lot, where he threw the credit cards and got arrested by the cops. The police told that Perroud was in possession of 9 fraudulent credit cards. Padia, who was wearing a black coat with a low hat, was also caught by the police officers while he was running away.
