I Need Your Help to Get Action from Greater Manchester Police!

Shaw and Crompton has become a hotspot for anti-social with the use of motorbikes and electric bikes.

There has become a national spike in this type of behaviour, and we are seeing more and more of it on our roads. There is a myth that the Police can’t do anything which is NOT TRUE! The Police will act even when riders are not wearing helmets but only in a targeted approached by trained officers. In fact, Greater Manchester Police has a dedicated team of Officers. 

Criminals are also using these modes of transport to commit further crimes, including drug supply, burglary, and theft. The anti-social use of these vehicles causes misery within communities, impacting on quality of life and posing a danger to those using the region’s roads and open spaces.

Most motorbike, e-bike, and quadbike riders, use their vehicles in a safe and considerate manner and abide by the law. But sadly, there are those that don’t, and this poses a serious risk to not only themselves, but other road users also. 

Officers from Greater Manchester Police’s Specialist Operations Branch which includes units such as Roads Policing (RPU), Drone and Motorcycle Unit and the National Police Air Service (NPAS) will join neighbourhood teams in turning out to those specific hotspot areas to deter, detect and disrupt offences from taking place.

Working closely with partners across Greater Manchester Police, officers will use up-to-date intelligence to help direct them to areas of concern.

That’s why I need your help! The Police have asked for any instances of this type of anti-social behaviour are reported so that GMP can target Shaw and Crompton like they did in Derker recently.

Please report using 101 or the Live Chat function on GMP’s Website, advice from the Police is to avoid busy times such as Friday and Saturday nights. Ring 999 if danger to life or property.
