Transport Police in Manchester City Centre tackle disruptive male at railway station

It has been a busy night for Greater Manchester Police in the city centre tackling a number of offences as part of Operation Custodian.

The GMP Transport unit were called to Piccadilly station to assist British Transport Police with a disruptive male, an incident that was handled successfully with the offender being removed from the station.

Police tweeted: "#GMPTransportUnit deployed at Piccadilly for #OpCustodian this evening. We assisted @BTP colleagues in removing a disruptive male from the train, amongst other duties #GMTravelSafe"

The same patrol has issued a number of Traffic Offence Reports (TORs) to motorists in the city centre one of whom was caught driving while using a mobile phone.

Another motorist was questioned by police after they failed a roadside drug wipe, which tested positive.

Police tweeted: "Another #OpCustodian update from #GMPTransportUnit - this time issuing a TOR in the city for a driver so immersed in his phone he didn’t see our car & another who failed drug wipe."
