How to file a police report on cryptocurrency theft
Step-by-step guide+templates

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.
