Armed police were called to a steak restaurant in Northampton, after a report was made relating to a firearm.

A Northamptonshire Police spokeswoman said: “We received a call that a driver had threatened another driver with what appeared to be a firearm around junction 15 of the M1.”
Police confirmed the suspect vehicle was then tracked to Talavera Way.
A diner at Miller and Carter said it was a “shock” to see “at least five armed response officers” enter the restaurant between 5pm and 6pm.
