If someone steals money from a company and is turned in to loss prevention instead of the police can they still be arrested on the charge after 48 hours? What are the laws that govern loss prevetion in a case like this?

Certainly they can. Prosecution can commence up until the statute of limitations runs out. The stores own security and civil recovery do not preclude criminal charges.

What are the statute of limitations for this case? How or can the case be basically void without any legal ramifications?
