Two suspected armed robbers yesterday shot and killed a police officer who led a team to stop their robbery operations at Lapaz, near a popular restaurant, Las Pamas, in Accra.
According to reports, the robbers, who were on motorbikes, shot the unidentified police officer three times at the busy area.
An eyewitness in an interview yesterday 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 them 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.
The eyewitness said the armed robbers after the operation headed towards Kasoa in the Central Region.
