Elizabethtown Police Department officers Nicole and Chase McKeown were minding their own business whilst off-duty tucking into a fried chicken meal at Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers in Louisville, Kentucky when they spotted the thief threatening a member of staff behind over the counter and immediately threw up their weapons to stop the criminal.

Chase told 'CBS News': ''It was a right place, right time type of deal. There wasn't any planning it. That's where the training takes over.''

The pair managed to detain the robber after he fled the scene.

Chase insisted: ''We aren't big on fancy things. ''We didn't do anything that any officer wouldn't have done.''

The CCTV footage was shared on the department's Facebook page and has since gone viral.
