A NOTORIOUS "dine and dash" family have run up bills worth more than &pound;1,000 for slap-up meals at several restaurants.
Up to eight members of the family have been ordering big meals and drinks before disappearing without settling up.
Four restaurants in a 30-mile radius have gone public with their warning about the family, with police believed to have been alerted by at least seven.
Restaurant owners say the mum tries to pay with a card which is declined, then promises to get cash or an alternative card but never returns.
They did their latest runner at newly opened Bella Ciao in Port Talbot, South Wales, with a &pound;329 bill. The Yard in Cowbridge, The River House in Swansea and La Casona in Skewen have also been targeted in the past eight months.
Bella Ciao manager Tyrone Reese said: "They were ordering the most expensive things, T-bone steaks and the like."
Mediterranean restaurant La Casona said: "We called the police... they responded that it was not an emergency." The Yard owner Paul Langford said:
"We have been open since 2017 and this is the only time it has happened to us."
Last August, they struck at The River House. Owners said: "This was obviously planned as they all just disappeared."&nbsp;
Leaving a restaurant without paying carries a prison sentence of up to two years. South Wales Police said: "Investigations are ongoing."&nbsp;
