A couple who went on an alleged dine-and-dash spree throughout Tayside have been arrested and charged.
The pair, a man aged 41 and a 34-year-old woman, are alleged to have racked up more than £600 in unpaid bills for meals in July.
They were arrested on Thursday after allegedly failing to pay for their meal at a restaurant in Arbroath.
Other restaurants involved are said to be in Perth and Dundee.
They will now be reported to the procurator fiscal.
