HR could confront them and make them sign a piece of paper telling them not to do it again, or they will lose their job. That, in my opinion, would be far more effective than just sending out a general email to everybody threatening to do the same thing. But of course, it all hinges on the timing of those messages, if those messages were sent from home, or from a phone, that's another story.

Depending on jurisdiction, probably good to take it to the police sooner rather than later - even if they're not willing to act yet, it will create a record of this behaviour that may be useful.
