Unfortunately once you have filed charges against an individual or reported a crime and that individual is arrested, it becomes the State's decision as to whether it wants to pursue the case against him/her. The State is represented by the Office of the District Attorney for the County in which the offense took place. There is likely an Assistant District Attorney (ADA) that is assigned to the case. You would be able to find out who the ADA is by contacting the District Attorney's Office for that county and requesting the ADA's name assigned to a particular defendant's case and indicating that you are the victim.

Whether or not the State wants to pursue a case against an individual is based on many factors, including the severity of the crimes charged, the amount/value of the stolen goods, whether the breaking and entering was of a residence or a business, etc.). However, a VERY large factor that will go into this decision is whether or not there is a victim and whether that victim has an interest in pursuing the charges. If you have decided that you do not want to pursue the matter any longer, you do have the option of making that known to the ADA or the defense attorney representing the defendant. You may appear in court and express your wishes or you may make contact with the attorneys involved through letter or phone call. You do have a voice in the matter, but you do not have the ultimate decision-making power.
