A serial 'dine and dash' couple who bailed on bills worth hundreds of pounds in restaurants across south Wales have pleaded guilty.
Bernard McDonagh, 41, and Ann McDonagh, 39, both from Port Talbot, just east of Swansea, pleaded guilty to five counts of fraud when they appeared at Swansea Magistrates' Court today. A judge heard how they bailed on bills at several locations across Wales and were charged by police last month.
The court heard the main aggravating factor in the case was the “presence of children” when multiple offences were carried out and that 41-year-old Bernard McDonagh had antecedent history. District Judge Chris James committed the proceedings to Swansea Crown Court for sentencing on May 29. He granted both defendants unconditional bail and requested a pre-sentencing report was made for each of them.
Viral footage was released after the couple, part of a party of eight, left the Bella Ciao Italian restaurant in Swansea without paying a £329 bill. The family dined on pricey T-bone steaks before they ran out on the bill, according to staff.
Ann McDonagh admitted four counts of theft by shoplifting, WalesOnline reported. These related to obtaining clothing she didn’t pay for at the Tommy Hilfiger shop at Bridgend Designer Outlet to the value of £442 on February 3, 2024, and to the value of £49 on February 17, 2024. She also pleaded guilty to obtaining household items from a Tesco Extra store in Swansea to the value of £426.60 and leaving without paying on September 6, 2023, and obtaining items from Sainsbury’s at Bridgend Designer Outlet to the value of £400 and leaving without paying on February 25, 2024. Ann McDonagh also pleaded guilty to obstructing a police officer in the course of their duty at Queen’s Road Police Station in Bridgend in February.

41 and 39? More like 61 and 59.
Yeah, like those two could “dash”.
Maybe in slow motion.
Defrauding an innkeeper is a serious crime that involves using fraud to obtain goods or services from a business without paying for them. This can include not paying for food and drinks at a restaurant, failing to pay after staying at a hotel or motel, or not paying for fuel at a gas station. The offense can be charged as either a misdemeanor or felony, depending on the amount stolen, and can carry a maximum sentence of up to 3 years in jail.
😂😆🤣
Police call: “Send backup and a forklift.”
What pathetic fat slobs. I wonder the reason they left without paying is because they broke the furniture? Will they get fat-shamed in jail?
Looks more like a case of Dine and waddle.

Guy on cellphone:
“Hello. I would like to make a reservation for two.”
“Sir. You must have made a dialing error. This is the city jail.”
Lol.
The making of high-end food deserts...
Did the article say if these two hippos actually have jobs or are they living on the public dole?
God help any child that got between these people and their plates. Authorities should xray their torsos.
It's the new normal everywhere. Get yours for free at stores and restaurants, the PC society doesn't mind. Theft at restaurants so rampant that some make people pre-pay for dining.
disgusting example of white trash...
