    Did the money he took include your wages as well? You should call the police

    The police are reluctant to get involved in disputes between couples, especially where there is no violence involved, because by the time it gets to court few will give evidence against the other even if they haven't got back together by then. I suspect they would just say its a civil, not a criminal, matter. In other words get a lawyer or sort it out legally yourselves.
