This isn't a matter of with each passing day it's more likely they're home free, and anyhow the authorities obviously aren't going to update the public every time they have information and if they're talking to Ashish they've probably told him to keep quiet as they did JP.

Plus and as I am sure you and others here know, law enforcement may already have suspects well in range and are building/strengthening their case, including whether others were involved in coordination or post-theft activity. Given double jeopardy and speedy trial concerns, along with there being no threat of danger to the general public, it seems unlikely they are going to arrest or charge quickly just for its own sake. I suppose the possibility of suspects fleeing the country could change the calculus, but I am willing to give law enforcement the benefit of the doubt on how this is being handled.
