You can make the report to law enforcement and have them investigate, but you can't "have them" arrest the person unless you're willing to do a citizen's arrest.

Gather whatever information you have and make a report to the police. They'll investigate and go from there.

I wonder whether attorney Dane is incorrectly assuming that you are the employer rather than the thief. All the employer needs in order to summon the police is a telephone. Most amateur thieves have spines made out of Jell-O� and they confess after about 30 seconds of questioning from a detective.
