A bungling criminal faces police questioning after he fled a taxi without paying - but left his passport behind.
A taxi driver called police on Sunday at 3.25am to report two male passengers who he had picked up after a night out in Eastbourne.
The car was near to Heathy Brow, Peacehaven, when the pair ran out and escaped without paying for the £35 fare.
Sergeant Robin Fuller, of Peacehaven police, said one of the men left his passport on the rear seat in his haste to run away.
He said: "We obviously have a very good lead in identifying the offender in this matter and therefore hope to interview the very embarrassed person in the near future."
