Theft case in pune - need suggestion

sir, we recently had some jewel theft at our home in pune and it definitely seems to be the handiwork of the servant..this seem to have happened when we are all at home.when confronted him, he seems to have been quite scared to talk and involving his family to talk and we could make from his response that he is the one..it has been a week this has occurred and we are still giving him chance to come in terms...now my question is, if he doesnt come to terms.... 1. does approaching the police after 10 days have any issues? 2. we may not be able to take finger prints now as many days have passed..will police entertain this case with a FIR? 3. can we strongly put him as the suspect........... how to proceed on this .......i know we delayed this case due to some sentimental reasons and having some courtesy on his family and kids by not going to police so far but this turns out to be that he is taking a chance on this delay by not accepting the truth.. do i need to report this to a crime branch or will this just be a CSR report case? please advise

sir,
thanks. i work abroad and we notice this on the day of our travel out..am sure the servant know our travel plans and planned this accordingly.is it possible for me  to submit the complaint online....it is for 10 sovereign of gold....will FIR be registerd for online complaint without me not being present.. my parents are still there in the home and they can provide information but it is just that i and my family wont be there to provide any finger prints..

If you are not available, let your parents lodge the complaint on your behalf and narrate the incidents on enquiry to the police with the reason for suspecting the said individual. Complaint online may not be accepted.
