The goods should be stored until the owner comes to claim it in person. If the person has committed a crime that the police feel there is enough evidence to arrest them for they can arrest them at that time.

However, if someone is present with the goods and claims to be the owner (and the police don't have evidence contrary to that) then the goods should continue on with the current claimed owner.
