It comes after businesses across Griffith were broken into on a Saturday night and early Sunday morning spree.
CCTV footage captured two people failing to get through the doors at 1.45am on Sunday morning, before giving up, getting into a car and reversing through the front doors of the cinema building.
Once in, they forced their way into the offices and kitchen, stealing a number of items.
Other businesses broken into include ones on Wakaden Street, Railway Street, McKay Avenue and Kooyoo Street.
The crime scenes are currently being forensically examined.
