Check with your tenancy agreement what emergency number you should call. The first thing you should do when your rented property is burgled, however, is call the police. Don't touch anything. Stay outside the property until the police have arrived. During that time, once the police have gone, you need to advise the letting agent or the landlord that the rented property has been burgled. Over and above that, if you have contents insurance, you need to make sure that you have a police reference number to give to the insurance company so that they can process the claim for your property.
