San Marino Italian bar and restaurant shared the footage on their public business Facebook page after an alleged incident on Friday, April 4.

In the footage two women and a man can be seen sat at a table at the Widnes restaurant. At one point in the video the man, who is wearing a pink coloured top, can be seen reaching into his back pocket before he then appears to pass something to the woman opposite him, who places it into a napkin.

The footage then appears to show the woman, who can be seen looking around the restaurant beforehand, putting food from her plate into the napkin before calling to a passing waitress who comes over.
