They made the right decision; keep doing what they're doing, but don't "go live" with it. That way, they've identified them, helping out the police (maybe; this depends), but they're not tipping them off.

The police want to get them charged on the highest offense that they're committing, but if they're tipped off early they'll destroy the evidence for that.
