Not natural. "Be out to" is not a common phrase, and not a phrase I could easily use in a sentence.
An expression for this situation would be "on the lookout"
The police are on the lookout for any clues left by the criminals.
means
The police are looking for any clues left by the criminals.
Here are more uses:
Be on the lookout for strangers.
or
She was on the lookout for hours.
This phrase is never needed. You can always just use simpler words.
