Two suspected armed robbers have reportedly shot a police officer who led a team to stop their robbery operation at Lapaz near Las Palmas, popular restaurant in Accra.
Reports indicated that the robbers who were on motorbikes shot the unidentified police officer three times.
An eyewitness said the incident was like an “action movie”.
He noted that the masked men, armed with locally manufactured guns opened fire which brought activities at the very busy area to a halt.
“The police who was part of the team chasing the robbers went closer to them and they shot him three times. He dropped on the floor but I cannot tell if he is dead” he added.
The armed robbers he indicated abandoned their motorbikes and snatched an ash Hyundai Sonata in the full glare of the public and headed towards Kasoa in the Central region.
Meanwhile, the police man who sustained gunshot wounds was rushed to the hospital by some residents in the area.

Ghana police wouldn't last in a city like New York. They know nothing and they are not fit! All they do is take Gh¢2,5,10 bribe and let people off the hook! Dummies! This one has nothing to do with change of government! Internally the police should've been up and doing without being told what to do by the president or the defense minister! Sitting ducks!
I really miss the PNDC days. Sanity, decency, and general security is gradually breaking down under this half baked democratic dispensation. Our security capos must sit up
Even the mighty America use their army interns like people using arms to terrorize the people but the police has special units and special weapon but still the army are used when the need arise, President Nana Addo its time to use the army against the armed rubbers, just try for two months and they will silence them all. Please safe Ghana from his internal enemies the armed rubbers.
security is breaking down gradually. drastic meaasures is what is needed to curb the situation.
Ghana police is doing fantastic job fight NDC armed robbers and government should provide police with bulletproof protection verse since armed criminals uses guns.
i cannot believe that this thing can happen in Kwame Nkrumah Ghana. Police rise up for Ghana is not safe at all .
@Esi you are very ***barred word*** to tag any tribe in this context
Don't rent your rooms and homes to Nigerians ,report them to the Police wherever they are. NPP AND NDC forget about party politics and defend our motherland from these thugs. Ghanaian lawyers don't defend them in court. Youths of Ghana attack them. My sisters don't sleep with these ani-mals ,they are AID infected ani-mals pls.
