The officers, who were members of a patrol team, are alleged to have demanded money from their victim and compelled him to withdraw the amount from an ATM for them.
A statement from the Service listed the interdicted officers as Inspector Courage Boateng, General Sergeant Stephen Addo, General Corporal Moses Anyravi, General Corporal Prosper Adiabo, General Lance Corporal Samuel Anokye, General Constable Henrietta Coleman and General Constable Bernard Amoako.
The interdiction, according to the Police, is to make way for ongoing investigations by the Police Professional Standards Bureau (PPSB).
