Overview
- Northamptonshire Police released CCTV images on Friday as they search for a group linked to an alleged unpaid £539.70 bill at the Miller & Carter in Kettering.
- The force says the party dined between 5pm and 7.10pm on April 6 and then left without paying for food and drink.
- Investigators ask anyone who recognises the people pictured to call 101 and quote incident number 26000213409 to reach the right team.
- Officers note a previous report at the same branch on March 27, when two men allegedly left a lunchtime meal without settling the bill.
- National tabloids picked up the police appeal and set it alongside other recent dine-and-dash stories, a trend that can strain restaurant staff and margins.
