Three off-road bikes were seized by police from a housing estate in Wigan following reports of anti-social behaviour.
On Tuesday evening (June 29), officers attended Poet’s Estate in Leigh after reports about inconsiderate and anti-social behaviour involving off-road bikes.
The behaviour had been previously reported to police and the owner of the bikes had ‘failed to take heed’ of a warning issued by officers last week.

As a result, the bikes were seized from the owner.
In a post on the GMP Leigh, Atherton & Hindley Facebook page, Inspector Smith wrote: “This evening the team seized three off road bikes on the Poet's Estate in Leigh.
“This was in response to further reports from the community about inconsiderate and anti-social behaviour involving off road bikes, and the owner failing to take heed of a warning that we issued last week.
“It's unacceptable to ride off road bikes on playing fields, and at other locations in the community that pose a danger to the public.
“We are committed to taking action against those responsible.
“Please continue to tell us who is committing anti-social behaviour in your area so that we can put a stop to it.”
