Finance problem caused by dealer mistake after picking up car

How can they call the police and say it was stolen he has the V5 documents its not like he walked into the dealership and stole the keys and the car. the company approved all the paper work and let him drive off.

If anything it would be a civil matter not a police matter they wouldn't even get involved. I would argue the point with the dealership at sticking to the original payment plan and let them soak up the loss. the guys there will be trying to cover their backs from head office.

They wouldn't want something like this going to court how stupid would it make them look not taking into account the financial loss you would have by taking on board payments for £15 extra a month if the deal was over 5 years then that works out at £900 extra not taking into account interest

If both sides signed the original deal, then the dealership will just have to reduce their price so that finance company then finance the lower price - same to you but the dealership misses out. Their mistake. And no cooling off period for them, unlike for you.
