How to file a police report on cryptocurrency theft

Step-by-step guide+templates

Image title
To make sure your report doesn’t just get filed away, but actually leads to a real investigation, you need to provide a clear and complete picture of what happened.
Most law enforcement officers don’t have the tools or experience to handle crypto cases — so how well your case is prepared often makes all the difference.
We’ve put together three essential documents that give your case a real chance of being taken seriously — and greatly improve your chances of recovering lost funds.

Police report
Your statement should briefly but clearly include:
  • What happened (date, time, and essence of the incident)
  • From which wallet the funds were stolen and in what amount
  • What cryptocurrency was stolen, its value at the time, and where it was sent (recipient address, transaction hashes)
  • What confirms the theft (wallet screenshots, correspondence, blockchain analysis, etc.)
  • A request to open a criminal case and your willingness to cooperate with the investigation
Important: The more complete and precise the statement, the sooner the police can begin working on the case.
Analytical report
This is a document that outlines:
  • The movement of stolen funds
  • Indicators of anonymization techniques
  • Attempts to cash out
  • Attacker behavior and involved addresses

Request to crypto exchange
This is a formal document submitted with the case materials and sent to the exchange in order to:
  • Obtain KYC data
  • Request asset freezing
We understand how overwhelming it can be to deal with everything on your own — especially right after your funds have been stolen.
That’s why we’re here to help: we can prepare all the documents, run the analysis, and guide the police through what needs to be done.
You don’t have to go through this alone.
