Two women who failed to pay for their taxi fare were caught after one shared a police appeal featuring both their faces.
Larisa Sumovskaja, 18, wrote ‘go like it guys xxx’ on the Facebook post that included dashcam photos of her and friend Jasmine Orchard, 21.
The pair had been on a night out in Bournemouth, Dorset, when they took a taxi to the West Howe area of the town, around three miles away.
They left the vehicle without paying the £38 fare and when the driver tried to stop them the women lashed out at him before making off.
Dorset Police later issued an appeal in the hope of identifying the suspects, which Sumovskaja shared.

Several Facebook friends pointed out in the comments that she had effectively out herself and Orchard.
Sumovskaja and Orchard appeared side by side in the dock of Poole Magistrates’ Court where they pleaded guilty to a charge of making off without payment.

They were ordered to pay £100 each to the taxi driver in compensation.
This is the second time the pair, both from Bournemouth, have appeared in court together.
In August they were sentenced for assaulting night club staff with their handbag.
The women kicked off as they were being escorted out of the Camel Bar in March.
They insulted bar manager Mohammed Saffi about his weight, spat at two security staff and hit them with their handbags.
Sumovskaja and Orchard were convicted of assault and ordered to do 100 hours of community service.
The taxi driver incident happened in January, two months before the Camel Bar assault.

Tara Olney, prosecuting, said the defendants were friends who operated in tandem.
Magistrates heard the taxi driver has stopped working nights and lost some of his income due to anxiety he feels over what happened.
The court heard Orchard had no previous convictions at the time of the taxi driver incident.
She is said to be doing well in relation to her community order for the Camel Bar assault.
Niall Theobald, defending Sumovskaja, said his client was an ‘immature young lady’ who suffered from mental health issues.
