The bookshop released the alleged theft’s security video.
Buffer, who starred in the popular television series “ER,” “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” “CSI: Miami,” “Gilmore Girls,” and “Cold Case,” was charged by Southern California Comics of stealing more than $600 worth of comic books from the shop.
A man is seen at the store taking what appear to be comic books by shoving them under his shirt in the video that was uploaded to Facebook.
Jamie Newbold, the owner of Southern California Comics, told The Post on Sunday that after posting a picture of an unnamed man on social media to alert other comic book shops about the potential thief, several companies reported the man was Buffer.
Even video of what appears to be another theft that took place in their shop and was supplied to Newbold by a Los Angeles comic shop, the man claimed.
According to Newbold, the potential theft from his store happened on Tuesday, October 6, and he reported it to the San Diego police on Thursday.
According to the New York Post, he claimed at least six to seven comics were gone.
In a Facebook post, Southern California Comics stated: “Ray Buffer here. He stole comic books and hid them under his shirt, and our camera caught him doing it. After learning about the crime, we checked the security footage till we came across this. We are providing the police with all the information.”
Last month, the same person, who is thought to be Buffer, was involved in another incident at Metropolis Comics in Los Angeles.
According to video provided by Southern California Comics, the co-owner, Alania Rice, is seen addressing the man who appears to be hiding comics under his shirt.
The man appears to retrieve comics from beneath his shirt, put them back on a table, and then stroll toward the exit after the owner tells him to leave, according to video.
The theft at Southern California Comics was reported to the authorities, according to the San Diego Police Department.
Buffer has not yet been accused of any crimes.
“We gave him the option to return our property—we know what he took since he is seen holding the books in an earlier scene of the video—or we could give it over to the authorities. He sent us an email saying we’re harassing him, “In the Facebook post, Southern California Comics made a statement.
