Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

my garage was broken into and had some things stolen.I knew it was somebody that was in our circle of friends but did not know for sure.However I have a friend that actually heard the person admit to robbing me and she heard it come right out his mouth.Could I use the witness as evidence to have the person arrested? Also does it make a difference that this person has a pretty bad criminal record already for stealing? Thank You for any help or advice you can give me.

Report it to the police if you intend to do anything about it. They will determine whether to file charges or not.
