Are you certain the police are actually doing anything ?
If you do a “tracert” on the IP address you may be able to tell who owns the actual connection. or do a whois lookup on it.
www.whois.sc/“ipaddress”
Then you could contact the internet service provider who owns the connection and instruct them to preserve data (dates and times of connection) for legal retention and forward the data over to the police and provide them the police report number. that is of course if the IP address is not a public access site like an internet cafe, university or some other location. Then if it is you could get that site to trace out the Mac address, traffic reports or something and match it to their internal network ip. and the next time the computer shows up on the network they woudl know exactly where it is (or close by if its wireless)
