What is the name of your state? WA state.
Hello,
I wonder if there's a way to lead to an arrest. I've filed a report w/ the police about someone 's failure to return my property (should be called as larceny ?). Therefore, this should be a criminal matter now.
Now, will the authority act on it if they can? By acting I mean making an arrest if an opportunity presented. I read some information on this site about 'Criminal Law - Arrests And Searches' and it says the police can arrest even without a warrant. I know it's too hard to get a warrant, so I don't think there'd be a warrant.
The damage from the crime is under $3k. Is this consider a petit crime? The officer who took my statement already told me that the police won't act (investigate & arrest), but the officer had also declined to make a report when I first talked with him earlier in the month.
Any comment and answer is appriciate.
