I suspect my tenant is stealing.

[Will Wu]

I notice my tenant backyard is full of A/C scrap, pipes, water heater, supermarket cart. This guys is a Section 8 tenant I suspect he stole these from other houses. I called him and told him that is illegal for him to keep those stuff in the yard and he should removed it before I report this to the authorities. What will you guys do in this situation?

Looks to me like he's a scrapper, not necessarily a thief.  I still wouldn't allow scrapping, though.  It creates an eyesore.

Be guided by the language in your lease.  But I wouldn't expect the police to necessarily pay a whole lot of attention.
