Hindley neighbourhood officers saw a car with a history of anti-social use, followed and stopped it.

Meanwhile, neighbourhood officers on patrol in Platt Bridge said they saw a motorbike rider “driving in an anti-social manner”.

Further checks revealed he had no licence and no insurance, yet he was driving on the road.

A police spokesman said: “We have been receiving regular complaints regarding anti-social driving in the neighbourhood and the team are actively trying to lower the risk to the public.
