A police constable, who shot into the vehicle of a lady at Moree toll booth when she failed to pay 50 pesewas is being investigated by the Central Regional Police Command.
On November 18, a woman, who was travelling to Cape Coast, pulled up at the Moree toll booth but realised, rather late that she had GH₵50 notes, so drove across the booth in order to give way to other motorists, and search for 50 pesewas, which was in a compartment of her vehicle.
The policeman, who was on duty that Sunday, shot straight into the car breaking the windscreen and wounding the woman behind the steering wheel.The victim, who narrowly escaped death, is currently recovering at a health facility.
