So sorry to hear that your device was stolen. I know that can definitely be frustrating.
Since the device is no longer with you, there is that possibility of data loss.
If you had iCloud photos turned on, and there was enough storage the photos should still be there.
You can confirm this at iCloud.com > sign in and tap on photos
If the storage was full, and the photos were set to automatically sync, purchasing iCloud storage MAY work, but it will require internet connection (possibly require wifi)
But a smart criminal wouldn't have the device connected to any type of internet connection.
I would try to locate the Device using find my. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201472
You can also sign into iCloud.com/find to try and locate it.
Contact police and file a police report.
Please note that Apple Support cannot track your device if it is lost or stolen.
best of luck ;)
