Spanish authorities apprehended the serial offender in Alicante last month, marking his 20th such incident within a year.

In a last-ditch effort, the dine-and-dasher dramatically collapsed, pretending to suffer a heart attack.

Undeterred, the restaurant staff promptly called the police. Alicante National Police officers, well-acquainted with the man's antics, recognised him instantly.
