WARREN, Mich. (FOX 2) - FOX 2 recently showed surveillance video of a $500 dine and dash by a large group at a Macomb County Japanese steakhouse.

That video helped police track down some of the people involved. Two women are facing charges including a Detroit police officer.

The large group sat at the table racking up a bill of more than $500 then casually walked out. They didn't realize a security camera was watching the whole time.

It was a Mother's Day meal for a family of 10 adults and a handful of kids who filled their faces at Sagano Japanese Steakhouse in Warren - then asked for five separate tabs.

The server was never able to deliver the checks, because the group had walked out on the $530 bill.

Investigators, say no question it was a dine and dash.

"The fact that none of them - particularly a law enforcement officer - didn't think it through and say maybe we shouldn't do this, is particularly disturbing" Smith said.
