Cops quiz beautician after two hotel guests strip room of everything possible – including kettle and tea bags | The Sun
POLICE are quizzing a beautician after two hotel guests stripped a room of everything possible – including a kettle and tea bags.
The sticky-fingered thieves were snapped on CCTV leaving the £80-a-night room with bags full of goods, loading their car to the brim.
The pair cleared the entire hotel room in Wales – leaving behind just shampoo, soap and the wall-mounted TV.
Now cops are said to be quizzing a 43-year-old beautician who lives near Cardiff after she and her boyfriend were alleged to be the couple snapped in the CCTV.
MailOnline reported Martine Rendell was tracked down by police after using her bank card with her name on it to check into the Dolphin Hotel in Pembroke Dock last Saturday.
Police were yesterday seen at their home after footage of the couple were released by the fuming hotel.

The couple did not answer the door when approached by a reporter for comment.
Hotel boss Natalie Newton, 43, this week told of how the two guests, who had Welsh accents, were "super friendly" when they checked into the room.
She said this is why it came as such a shock when cleaners realised two fluffy white bath towels, two lamps, a coffee container, a charging tower and other items had been nabbed by the pair.
Even the TV remote was gone.

Writing on Facebook and sharing photos of the alleged thieves, the hotel said: “This woman and her partner booked a room with us for one Saturday night and literally stole all the contents from the room.”
Blasting the couple, they finished: “Shame on you!”
As they left, they made more than one trip to their car carrying a large shopping bag bulging with their loot – which also included an electric fan, two hand towels and a tea caddy.
They grinned at the CCTV as they departed the hotel, leaving behind just shampoo and soap.
The couple are thought to have got away with at least £200 worth of goods.
Dyfed-Powys Police said: "We have received a report of theft from a room at the Dolphin Hotel, Pembroke Dock, on Saturday, 19 August. We are investigating the incident."
The Sun has approached the force for further comment.
