VIDEO: Man caught on CCTV releasing pet rat to con free meal from restaurant
The owner of a top-rated bistro smelled a rat when a customer pulled a rodent from his pocket and shouted out in an attempt to get a free meal.
Restaurateur Kevin Smith, 48, branded fraudster Christopher Baker a “scumbag” for trying the trick at Borneo Bistro in Sunderland – which attracts Premier League footballers – saying it could have ruined the business he has built up over seven years.
