2 former tenants whom i evicted, and have been caught stealing from my property, come to visit, and often stay overnight at his mothers apartment, also my building, but in a different town. Yes, this theft is recorded with the police.

I think they more or less are living there, but proving that is another matter, as they are claiming they live with a different relative, but their cars are often at my apartment building.

No issues so far with the mother, can i get a no trespass order against them, because of the thefts? I would rather not have to, not renew her lease, just to make the thieves stay away. They are often taking up the limited parking spaces, which the other tenants are complaining about, hence why i know they are there most of the time. One tenant keeps sending me pics of them or their cars. He has had a physical altercation with the boyfriend of this couple.

Open to all suggestions or ideas.

If parking spaces are limited, they should be assigned to units.  Talk to a local towing company to see what you need to do to get them to help you enforce it (ie what signage do they need so they can tow if you call with a complaint)?

Start by reminding everyone of the terms of the lease specifically parking and guests.  If the other tenants are complaining, then you may need to not renew the mom's lease because they will keep visiting her.
