How can we use the adverb (Not...yet) ? Help !
For example : The thief has not been caught yet by police. Or, the thief has not been caught by police yet.
Do we put 'yet' after past participle of the verbe or in the end of the sentence ?
Does the adverb (not...yet) mostly use with present perfect tense ?

They're both completely acceptable in American English. Kenneth's version is also fine.

Both your sentences are possible colloquially, but I would prefer to say
"The thief has not yet been caught by the police."
Note "police" should be "the police" in both your sentences.
I am sorry I do not know what the general rule is.
