Legal Question in Criminal Law in New York

We had money and other items stolen from our house. There was no sign of forced entry and no fingerprints were found. Most of the items belonged to my younger sister and were hidden in places that only her ex-boyfriend knew about. Most of the items stolen were things only he would want to steal because they were connected to their relationship. Is this enough to arrest him? If you think you know who has committed the crime because it seems personal is that enough for an arrest? Or would that only warrant questioning? If he didn't have an alibi or was seen in the vicinity of our house would that make a difference?
