A woman in an eye-catching pink mini-dress who with her partner dodged paying for a taxi is being hunted by police.

The couple took a cab from Workington to North Road, Egremont, arriving at their destination at 2am today, said a police spokesman. They left the taxi without paying for the 13 mile trip.

A police spokesman said officers are now trying to identify the pair.

"The female was wearing a distinctive pink mini-dress," added the spokesman.

Anybody who can help police identify the couple should call Cumbria Constabulary on the non-emergency number 101.
