Three people were caught riding a stolen moped like a “circus act” in Farnworth.
The group fell off the vehicle on Pear Tree Drive and ran towards nearby fields on Monday (September 14).
Police checks found the moped to be stolen.
A spokesman for GMP Traffic said: “Riding a scooter with three people on board is quite impressive in a circus...
“On the roads of Farnworth not so.... on making off from #XT14 the three circus act wannabees fell off on Pear Tree Drive before making off into the fields. Checks show the scooter to be an outstanding stolen.”
