A driver whose truck got broken down Thursday evening called a mechanic to fix the truck on Friday morning. In the course repairing the truck, the Police came to tow the vehicle to a distance less than one kilometer and collected the driver's papers.
After repairing the truck, the driver went to the police to retrieve his papers but the Police was asking him to GH 1000.00.  
Status note
On Wednesday 24th the driver was released but after paying GH 600.00 as fine at Techiman Court.

GSA staff asked the driver to provide him the proof of payment at his arrival for further followup o the matter.  
Progress update note
The driver called GSA staff to report the incidence. GSA staff speaking to one officer, was told that the Police was taking the driver to court for failure to inform them of the breakdown.

GSA staff then called ASP Amoah, from the Tema regional MTTD who explained that once there was a mechanic fixing the truck, it cannot be considered as an abandoned car therefore there was no need to take the driver to court.
