I'm not sure the Police will do anything about it, they would probably tell you it is a civil matter and not a criminal one.
If you have documentary evidence, we may be able to assist you. Obviously, without seeing the trust and the documents, I can not give you an opinion, especially on a public forum, but if you would like to contact me at the email address provided by LawGuru or through our firm's site, No-Probate.com, we can discuss this further and see what, if anything, we can help you with.

You could try writing to the district attorney, the L.A.D.A. has a unit just to go after fraud by officers of the court. But a private attorney might be a better option.
