A husband and wife are facing charges after allegedly skipping out on their bill at a Brandon, Man. restaurant, and leaving their 10-year-old daughter behind.

Brandon police were called to the scene in the 900 block of Rosser Avenue on Tuesday around 9 p.m.

The manager told police the two suspects – a husband and wife – ate a meal, had drinks, and then bolted from the restaurant. They skipped out on their $135 bill and they also left behind their 10-year-old daughter, police said.

Both suspects were found intoxicated nearby and taken into custody, police said.

The young daughter was turned over to Child and Family Services.

The 29-year-old man from Sioux Valley, Man. and 33-year-old woman face charges of “food by fraud.” They will appear in Brandon Provincial Court in July.
