Option 2 : 2
The correct answer is option 2.
If two actions occurred in the past (one past action earlier than the other past action), the Past Perfect tense is used for earlier past action and Simple past for the later past action. In this case, the earlier past action is 'had run' and the later action should be 'arrived'.
Therefore, the correct sentence is:
The thieves had already run away before the police arrived at the location.
