A former golf course has been slapped with a dispersal order by police, lasting the entirety of this weekend (June 4 to June 6).
The dispersal order comes after 'a number of robberies reported where large groups of youths have attacked and stolen bikes' from their victims.
Failure to comply with the order 'could result in your arrest', Greater Manchester Police has warned.
The order allows police to direct people to leave the area and applies to all over the age of 10.
