An urgent warning has been issued to pubs and restaurants after the same pair repeatedly 'dining and furious' was caught while they splash on expensive articles.
Oeters in Noord -Warwickshire are alert to a man and woman who order the most expensive things on the menu, including alcohol, before they do a runner.
Agra Palace in Nuneaton and the Red Lion in Corley both opened their bad experiences with the 'brutal' couple that they would climb into a distinctive white car and disappear before they established the bill.
CCTV images of more than one place seem to show the couple in action.
A spokesperson for the Red Lion, who was directed on March 17, said Coventylive: 'I am angry and disappointed. They clearly did it in many other places.
'They come in and once ordered in and out for a smoke, so if they run, I think it is so you think they will just smoke.
'But the bill was an excessive amount for two people, including bottles of wine, pints beer and even shots. Starters, the most expensive main courses and sides. So it's a well thought out plan they have. They were not going to pay. '
The couple would have appeared in Agra Palace a few days later on March 22 and pulled the same trick. Owner Jamal Ullah said they sustained a £ 160 bill before they got out for a smoke.

He said: 'They came around 8.45 pm on Saturday evening – a walk -in, they had not booked. They were polite, ordered a lot of things, two bottles of wine, bearings, expensive starters and main causes.
“Then she went by the end of their meal and said she smoked, then he said he was going to check his wife and asked me to keep an eye on his coat he left behind. Then we didn't see them anymore.
'Of course they planned it because of the amount of things they ordered – we should have been really aware, it was a bit fish -like. But we are very busy, we are well established, have been here for more than 35 years. We have a very good customer base, many regulars. We have never really had such a problem.
'I got what happened on Facebook, so others were aware. It was a lot of money and it upset me – why would anyone do that? Pubs and restaurants are experiencing difficult times. '
Mr. Ullah's Facebook message led to various other pubs and restaurants, including the bull and butcher, who came forward and parts of what the same couple seem to be and the same distinctive white car with a black trim in two-tone style.
Another establishment, which wanted to remain anonymous, described the method of the pair – ordering large amounts of food that then came out for smoking – such as comparable to other accounts.
Asked for the Red Lion incident, a spokesperson for the Warwickshire police said: “Questions are going on as officers working to identify the persons involved.”
