Johannesburg - Seven people were arrested for allegedly failing to pay for the consumption of food worth R890 at a Wimpy outlet in Jabulani on Wednesday, Soweto police said.
Inspector Kay Makhubele said four men and three women, aged between 19 and 22, ordered food at the Wimpy outlet in Jabulani mall on Wednesday afternoon, saying they were celebrating a friend's birthday.
"When they were supposed to pay, they came up with stories, saying somebody they had eaten the food with left just before paying for the food as promised... but there was never the 8th person," Makhubele said.
Police called to the mall arrested them and charged them with theft.
