Who warned

Hi,

"Officers believe other suspects they intended to arrest in yesterday's raid had left the site and warned that slaves could also have been moved." [From The Independent.]

Who warned? Officers or suspects?

Thank you.

Syntactically it could have been either group because and is a coordinating conjunction. Common sense says it was the officers. CB
