If it turns out that the cops who allowed the intruders to gain entry were conspiring with the intruders, I think this defense goes out the window. If my friend is a security guard at the local mall and he agrees to let me in at night so that I can steal stuff, "the security guard let me in" won't be a solid defense for my act of burglary.
Hopefully if this is correct they get theirs, but even this scenario seems like it will be hard to prove beyond a doubt.
This makes prosecution much more difficult. What the hell were they doing? Even I would lock the door.
