They were identified by the Police on the balcony of the Super 8 officers patrolling the area. Officers chased the suspects and took them into custody for interrogation.

Indians and their descendants make up 1.35% of the American population and workforce. But, the percentage of hotels owned by Indians is a staggering 42%. Indians of Gujarati origin own 21,000 of the 51,000 hotels and motels in the US, a market that has a worth of $40 billion.

The Patels were arrested for lying even after the Police had advised them about the suspects.
