A Haji Lane retailer has accused two secondary school students of stealing cameras from his shop, but a male teen allegedly implicated in the case has denied the allegation and lodged a police report.
Digicam Diaries SG took to TikTok on Sunday (Oct 4) to allege that a pair were involved in the incident.
In the posts, which have since been deleted, the retailer shared a 12-second clip showing the two students entering the shop and walking towards a shelf of cameras.
The girl is then seen picking up a camera with her back to the CCTV camera.
The clip then cuts to "before" and "after" stills of the shelf, with the retailer alleging that two cameras were missing.
The retailer initially alleged that the two individuals had been identified as secondary school students and claimed that the girl had admitted to stealing the cameras, and also said payment had subsequently been made for the cameras, after which the video was removed.
But the boy denied that they had stolen the cameras and made a police report, according to the retailer's posts.
The police confirmed to AsiaOne that a report was lodged by the retailer and that investigations are ongoing.
As investigations are ongoing, it is not clear from the information available why the payment was made.
In a subsequent update on Monday (Oct 5), the retailer said it had removed the video while the case was under investigation.
The retailer also alleged that the girl had attempted to delete evidence relating to the incident but said it had retained screenshots, adding that it would continue pursuing the matter, saying the students had been "very dishonest" in how they dealt with the situation.

哈芝巷一家零售商指控两名中学生从他的店里偷窃相机，但据称涉案的一名青少年否认了这一指控，并已向警方报案。
Digicam Diaries SG 于周日（10 月 4 日）在 TikTok 上发帖称，有两人参与了这起事件。
在这些后来被删除的帖子中，该零售商分享了一段 12 秒的视频片段，显示两名学生进入商店并走向摆放相机的货架。
随后镜头显示，女孩背对着监控摄像头，拿起了一台相机。
视频随后切换到货架“之前”和“之后”的静止画面，零售商声称有两个摄像头丢失了。
该零售商最初声称，这两名嫌疑人已被确认为中学生，并声称该女生已承认偷窃了相机，还表示随后已支付了相机的款项，之后视频已被删除。
但据该零售商发布的帖子称，这名男孩否认他们偷了相机，并已向警方报案。
警方向AsiaOne证实，零售商已报案，目前调查正在进行中。
由于调查仍在进行中，根据现有信息尚不清楚付款原因。
在周一（10 月 5 日）的后续更新中，该零售商表示，在案件调查期间，他们已删除该视频。
该零售商还声称，这名女孩曾试图删除与该事件有关的证据，但表示已保留了屏幕截图，并补充说将继续追究此事，称这些学生在处理此事时“非常不诚实”。
