Children of tenant caught stealing items from surrounding propery

One of our fairly new tenants who previously checked all of our boxes has a minor who has been caught on camera stealing packages and items from surrounding homes. This obviously is a problem, but the only reason we know about it is because we happen to personally know one of the victims. There have been formal police reports filed, any suggestion as to next steps or any experience you’ve all had?

This obviously is a problem, but we are still learning about the scenario and what we can do, if anything without overstepping bounds, or the law. It’s definitely civil law situation, but what if any liability to we have to say something since we’re made aware of it directly by the victim  

We have contacted our attorney and and waiting their guidance but curious if anyone here has had instances like this? 

Their HUD lease is up August of next year -

This is your tenant's issue, not your issue. I wouldn't get involved, unless authorities are asking for some sort of information that is voluntary. Otherwise, mind your business.
