A man caught on CCTV allegedly doing a runner from a Cornish pub after racking up a £215 bill has been identified as a paving firm boss who lives on a caravan site. Edward O'Reilly is believed to have shared a Sunday lunch with family at The Fisherman's Arms, Newlyn, near Penzance, before allegedly leaving without paying.
It is believed Mr O'Reilly denies the allegation. Express.co.uk received no answers when it tried to contact the businessman who runs Kings Landscaping.
He lives in a static caravan at a site next to the A38 in Plympton, Devon, according to MailOnline.
The pub took to social media after the dine and dash on Sunday, with police confirming they were aware of the allegation.
It tweeted: "Anyone know who these people are? Just did a runner without paying, 2 went out the front door and 2 out the back!"
Pub manager, Lucy, previously told the Mirror it was the first time the venue had been left short.
She claimed: "They are not from round here. You want to trust people, but this wasn't an accidental walk-off.
"You can see one of the men shushing the other as they walk away on the CCTV."
Lucy alleged: "One of them came up to the bar, had a look at the bill and said the women were in the toilet."
"He said they were going out for a cigarette and would come back to settle up, but they left.
