The direct way to punish the criminal
I think the direct way to punish the criminal is to go to the police and report. The police will help you and ask you some questions about this crime. You may have to describe some details about this criminal, and the police will help you find this person and ask him about the crime. If you just want to [use] this policy and keep it private, you may choose to report it.
