A group of women were seen laughing as they walked out of a pub without paying a £140 bill.
The women stuffed their faces with food and booze on Saturday, March 23 while enjoying a carvery at the Wheelbarrow Castle pub in Worcester.
CCTV footage shows the tracksuit-clad women filing past the bar with one pushing a pram.
The dine-and-dashers were caught on camera leaving the popular pub at around 3pm before fleeing in a dark blue 4x4 and a dark-coloured VW Golf.

In a post on social media, the pub said: "These delightful ladies were part of a group of six women that decided to leave today without paying their £140 bill!!
"Shot off in a 73 plate car, nice of them to stick their fingers up to our staff who tried to chase after them as they sped off!
"You’d think they would be able to pay their bill unless their car was stolen too.
"You people are why pubs are closing every day...it’s a hard enough job as it is without scumbags thinking it’s ok to fill their faces with food and drink and then do a runner. You should be ashamed of yourselves."
