Garda opinion on situation

Recessionbust

Mods, sorry if this is in the wrong place, please feel free to move.

I am looking for opinions/thoughts from those is AGS, say a lodger committed an act of theft from their landlord and you knew they did it as there was no one else in the house but that person left and returned to the UK , left all there stuff in there room etc and has just "vanished" would the Garda follow up with the UK police or would it just be left on file and followed up if the person ever returned to the country?
Appreciate any thoughts/opinions as the LandLord has been left wondering what he can do.

The owner of the stolen property, from what I can tell, the landlord, should report the crime to his local Garda station. The Gardai will then investigate the matter. Simples

An investigation will take place based on the evidence that exists of the crime here in Ireland.

The UK police have no power to investigate a crime which occurred here. As such the matter will likely be kept pending the return of the suspect to Ireland.

An extradition warrant or European arrest warrant is applied for only for the purpose of charge not for an investigation. There is unlikely to be sufficient evidence to charge without an arrest or interview and even if so it's unlikely to be applied for in the case of a theft.
