If they have something, but have been waiting to get more by using people with wires, this action will just lead to a faster arrest. Hunkering down will them decide to act now rather than later.
Makes me think of that To Catch A Predator business years ago with that prosecutor. After having already had an elicite conversation with what he thought was a minor, he stopped all communication and never went to the bait house. That didn't help him. He already committed a crime with the conversion, so they went to him.
Point being, if you've commited a crime, hunkering down isn't going to save you. If anything, it makes the authorities realize it is time to act.
