A 'DINE and dash' food fraudster who fled an Irvine restaurant without paying the bill has been urged to stump up the cash.

The man tucked into a dinner at The Niche restaurant on Montgomery Street before doing a runner.

The Niche team issued a social media appeal - including a picture of the alleged suspect - earlier this week, and asked: "Does anybody recognise this man? He has been in and left without paying his bill.

"We would like to give him the opportunity to pay before we contact the police.

"Also, a warning for any other businesses to be careful."

In a later post, they added: "We now know who this is and also that he has done this in several venues over the last couple of weeks.

"We urge everyone to report this to stop this happening."
