Police are hunting for an alleged bill-dodging duo after a couple dined at a North Yorkshire restaurant and left without paying. 

The pair are believed to have ordered four adult meals and two drinks at the Al Taco Mexican restaurant, on Baxergate in Whitby, before leaving without settling the bill.

North Yorkshire Police has since launched an investigation into the incident, which took place on Wednesday, August 19.

The force has now released an image of a man and woman who they believe may have information about the incident.
