The civvy coppers are just looking for someone to charge. It's what they do and just about all they're good for. It means they can solve a crime.
They know who the crew were so they already have the perps. It's easier than actually going out and solving crime where they actually have to do something and discover who did it.
I was shocked, one year, when on my Council Tax information justifying the vast amount of loot we give over to the police on an annual basis, they were proud of the fact that they, Norfolk Police, had actually solved 33% of crimes over the previous period.
They may have been proud, I was shocked and disgusted if not surprised as the only time you see a copper round our way is if one misses you in his car, doing warp speed with blue lights, on your side of the road and on a blind bend or hiding in a hedge with a speed gun.
I'm not impressed by the police overall but with some exceptions.
