What to do if I have stolen $2000 worth of products from my former employer and they have gotten the police involved but I haven’t heard anything yet?

I still have 90% of the items. If I give them back will it help me and what sentence do you think I will get?

I suggest that you consult with a criminal defense attorney to represent you in the matter that you have written about where he or she acts as an intermediary for the return of the items you have in your possession from your former employer. Their return most likely will reduce any charges and ultimate sentence against you in the event of a criminal conviction for what you have written about.
