Legal Question in International Law in California

I don't know what kind of law, but since there's an international aspect, I chose that category:

Elderly mother lives in California. She has a brother who lives in London. Her brother sent her some letters and money, as well as a request for her to send him her checking account number so he could wire/transfer money straight to her account. Her grown son - who lives with her - intercepted the letters and kept the money already sent, and then gave his uncle his own checking account number. That resulted in the uncle sending more money to him. The son has not told anyone of this except for his own adult son, who felt bad months later and told someone. What laws did the son break? And did he make his own son an accomplice by telling him?

That's a matter of criminal law, not international law. It looks like a theft was committed, and these crimes could be reported to police in Califirnia.
