Police are searching for a couple accused of repeatedly dining and dashing and then evading arrest.

In a small village near Southend, a couple has been accused of running out on their bills at multiple restaurants and with several taxi drivers. The regulars at the local pub tried to intervene and stop them, but to no avail. The alleged serial "dine and dash" couple, Daniel Alani and Kerry Stevens, both 38 years old, are facing charges for their dine and dash antics.

Their first reported incident was at The Castle Inn in Little Wakering, where they enjoyed a meal of prawn cocktail, breaded mushrooms, and two roast chicken dinners with extra lamb. They also had two cokes, an orange juice, and a medium glass of white wine. However, when it came time to pay the £62 bill, they tried to make a run for it. The 76-year-old landlord, Ken Todd, was shocked and disappointed. He even mentioned that if they were truly struggling, he would have happily given them the food for free.

In their attempt to escape, Alani tried to exit through the back door, which Todd had already locked. Meanwhile, Stevens attempted to flee through the bathroom window. The situation was quite chaotic, and the couple managed to escape for the time being. However, they were later apprehended on May 2 at an address in Great Wakering and were questioned by the police. They were released on conditional bail but failed to show up for their court date last month.

According to the police, Alani is around 5ft 8ins tall and has a stocky build, while Stevens is around 5ft tall and has a petite frame. They are known to frequent the Southend and Great Wakering areas. The authorities are currently searching for them as they are wanted for questioning regarding multiple incidents involving unpaid taxi fares, restaurant bills, and their failure to appear for their court date.

It is a concerning situation, and the police are urging anyone with information about their whereabouts to come forward. The spokesperson for the force stated that they are investigating several incidents where individuals have failed to pay their bills and answer to police bail. It is important to hold individuals accountable for their actions, and the authorities are determined to bring these suspects to justice.
