So long as your boyfriend has not been served with any subpoena for any court matter he is under no legal obligation to go to the police station for questioning concerning some theft issue. He has the right to say nothing if he shows up. I suggest he may want to consult with an attorney about the matter and have an attorney present during the questioning should he choose to show.
