Staff at Popu Anime in Westfield Chermside are alleged to have identified a family theft after reviewing CCTV footage, according to reports. The footage is described as showing multiple people working together to take merchandise from the store.

Both outlets say staff were shocked by what they viewed on the recordings. The reports frame the incident as an allegation based on the CCTV evidence, without providing confirmed outcomes such as arrests, charges, or the value of the items taken. Details beyond the fact that the footage shows coordinated activity by a group are limited in the available accounts.

While both sources present the same core claim—that CCTV captures an alleged family acting together—their coverage stays at a similar level, focusing on the store’s reaction to the footage rather than additional investigative developments.
