CCTV shows the terrifying moment a large group of masked bikers flood a petrol station armed with "knives and a sword".
The group is believed to have caused "widespread distress" in Wythenshawe on Halloween.
Footage shows masked bikers entering the garage and taking a number of items.
It is believed the same group were seen causing numerous instances of anti-social behaviour that same night.
Some bikers were believed to have been in possession of weapons, including knives and a sword.
Pc Gavin Jackson, of Greater Manchester Police’s City of Manchester division, said: “This was a widespread disturbance across the areas of Wythenshawe and Sale, which caused large amounts of distress to residents of those communities.
“We believe the men on bikes shown on the CCTV footage at the petrol station were the same group who were causing mass anti-social behaviour elsewhere that night.
“Due to the widespread instances of that night, we are confident there are members of the public who will have seen this group or have dashcam footage through the night and we wish to hear from anyone who may have information.”
