A girl gang tucked into a buffet of chicken tikka masalas, naans and pilau rice before allegedly scarpering without paying the £72 bill.

Shocking CCTV footage shows the moment the 'dine and dashers' stroll into East4west Indian restaurant in Blackpool on August 25.

The group are seated in the rather empty looking eatery before seemingly requesting a change of table and finally placing their order.

They are said to have devoured a mixed chutney tray followed by chicken tikka masala and a chicken kadai special as they enjoyed some of the restaurant's staples.

The gang then added in some peshwari and garlic naan, completing the platter with two portions of chips and two of pilau rice.
