Sure, the investigation is worth more than a single phone, but you're pretty likely to find 50 phones.
You're very, very unlikely to be robbed by someone who's doing it for the first and only time in their life. Most likely, you'll come across a gang of organized criminals, which you can now put in jail, and recover value worth tens of thousands of pounds, return it back to their owners, restore faith in "the system", and possibly uproot a major crime operation.
It's such a massive fucking win I don't understand why they don't enforce it more.
Pull a few officers of Twitter duty, and maybe do some real police work?
