Legal Question in Criminal Law in Virginia

im the victim

my car window was smashed in and my purse stolen. the man spent almost $1,000 at a store and the police officer says he will have about 15 charges from my case alone mostly felonies, not including the other felonies he will be recieving for doing the same thing to other people. he is currently in jail. and i want to press charges and possibly sue him as well. ive never done anything like this and am not sure where to start. i dont have much money right now since he put my bank account $500 in the negatives. if you know what i should do please let me know. thank you.
