Contact the police directly by going to their office. Beware that if you had stuff in the house or knew about what was going on, you may be subject to criminal charges. If that is the case, seek the assistance of a criminal attorney before trying to contact the police. You can find out the owner of the house by looking it up on the property assessor's records. you don't need the lease in the house unless it is a sublease and then the owner is still in charge anyway.
