A couple of suspected 'dine and dashers' are being hunted by police after they bought four meals and two drinks from a restaurant and then made off without paying.

The man and woman are said to have eaten at Al Taco in Whitby, North Yorks, alongside their family. But after scoffing the meals at the Mexican eatery - where burritos cost £9.95 and fajitas cost £13.75 - they left the restaurant without paying. The full cost of the bill was £65.

North Yorkshire Police have released an image of a couple they would like to speak to in connection with the incident. A spokesman said: "We’re appealing for information about a man and woman who left a Whitby restaurant without paying for their meal.
