I'm quite sure the police won't do anything as this is a civil matter. she will have to go to get court to get her stuff back. I think it is called a return of possessions order, google it or search here

Civil matter, the Police won't do anything, or at least they shouldn't!

 

She would need to take her own legal action against you, which is unlikely as it would cost her.

 

Tell her to grow up, and discuss things in a civil manner.

Dividing furniture and other belongings when you split up

 

You’ll need to try and reach agreement with your partner about how to split up furniture or possessions. In general terms, you can legally own things ‘jointly’ (between you) or ‘separately’ (on your own).

For example, you may have bought some items with your own money to use yourself. These would usually be classed as being owned ‘separately’. But other items you have bought together may be ‘jointly’ owned.

For more information, see ‘Splitting money and possessions if you’re not married or in a civil partnership’.
