I dedicate this report to the lovely John Clarke who sadly passed away after filming. His family resorted to buying his chair off ebay & hope others don't face the same fight.

[Sacha Lord @Sacha_Lord]

If you’re one of these people who run out of a restaurant without paying the bill…you are worse than a shoplifter.

Most restaurants have CCTV.

We see you…and so will social media. My thoughts on ⁦@itvnews⁩.

[AMY WELCH @amywelchitv]

Eating a meal and then doing a runner.....is 'dine & dash ' the new shoplifting?
Cases are on the rises & some restaurants fear they wont survive. Listen to ITV's #Whatyouneedtoknow podcast here to find out more 👇

Is 'dine & dash' the new shoplifiting? Some restaurants tell me they've been targeted 3 or 4 times by customers who order the most expensive food on the menu and then walk out without paying the bill. So why do people do it & what can be done to stop it? Watch my report here 👇
