If the police obtain a search warrant will they be able to access my data without my 6 digit passcode?

How can I secure data after iPhone theft? My phone was stolen. My phone has a password and Face ID. The thief took the phone offline and I don't have access to Find Me. I have activated the lost mode in Find Me. I went to the internet service provider and deactivated the SIM card. I have 2 questions? 1- Can they still access my information? 2- Can Apple block my phone because there is no way to access it and the thief can't get online? (I have all the information like the serial and IMEI of the phone if needed) [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Is my data safe on a Lost or stolen iPhone? They say the FBI can’t get into iPhones, yet every travel page warns that thieves or hackers can access my data on my iPhone if I lose it while travelling or if it’s stolen. Which is it? I also see two pieces of advice. Either put your texts on the Lock Screen so I can text my phone number (from another phone) to whoever finds my lost iPhone, or immediately login to iCloud and set my iPhone as lost so no one can get inside it. But you can’t do both. So, is my phone data safe (I have passcode and Face ID set up). thanks!

Not if it's running a recent iOS version. Apple tries to close any holes which might be used to bypass it.
