A police officer who disarmed an armed thief who was threatening families dining in a Scarborough restaurant has been nominated for a bravery award.

PC Laura Kelly was one of 93 nominees at the Police Bravery Awards this year and enjoyed a trip to Downing Street with her partner for a ceremonial reception.

PC Kelly was on patrol alone when she was called to pursue a suspect armed with a knife and spotted a man matching his description trying to mingle among customers in the unnamed restaurant.
