Law enforcement are likely to view it as a civil matter best handled in Conciliation Court (small claims).

You may call the police and report this incident. Do not use 911, but use the non-emergency number. Most likely, however, the police will tell you this is a civil and not a criminal matter. Thus, you would have to pursue your claim in small claims court.
