Dramatic CCTV footage shows Detective Chase McKeown and Officer Nicole McKeown draw their weapons and confront the masked gunman in the Raising Cane's branch in Louisville, Kentucky.
The pair gave chase as the robber fled through the town and arrested him nearby with the help of local officers.
The couple, who are officers with the Elizabethtown Police Department about 50 miles south of Louisville, were enjoying their weekly date night on Saturday when the suspect entered the restaurant wearing a surgical face mask.
When they realized it was a robbery, Chase handed his cell phone to his wife and told her to call 911 while he confronted the robber.
