Live updates as couple are sentenced for repeatedly leaving expensive restaurants without paying

A couple who ran up large bills in restaurants then made off without paying are due to be sentenced. Bernard McDonagh and Ann McDonagh targeted five restaurants across Swansea, Neath, Port Talbot and Porthcawl in a spree of so called "dine and dash" incidents.

In total the couple, from Sandfields in Port Talbot, ate food worth more than £1,000 from the establishments before walking away. They were identified after CCTV images were posted online by frustrated business owners.

Earlier this month the couple, of Western Avenue, each pleaded guilty to five counts of obtaining services dishonestly at Swansea Magistrates Court and the case was committed to Swansea Crown Court for sentencing. You can follow the sentencing below:
