You are perfectly entitled to ask the police if revealing this
information would prejudice their enquiry (indeed, I think you would be
advised to do so if the ex-employee was mysteriously tipped off that
doing an SAR on yourselves might reveal something interesting).
Note that this level of prejudicing the enquiry is distinct from the
prejudicing of the enquiry that it is required to be alleged would
happen if you didn't provide the information.
