That statement is hearsay. You can report the individual to the police and they may take some sort of action but that evidence alone is not enough to justify an arrest or conviction.
The person confessing is not hearsay. The person he confessed to is not committing hearsay either if they tell it to the police. It does not become hearsay until its repeated in court by someone who did not originally hear it from the person confessing and/or the person repeating it is not available to be cross examined.
