Police clamp down on illegal car meets being held in Wigan

Specialist officers from Greater Manchester Police’s traffic and transport units responded to reports of large-scale meets in the borough on Sunday.

They urged people planning to attend to “go home” and a dozen traffic offence reports were issued.

A police spokesman: “These so-called car meets involve numerous vehicles flouting the law and driving without regard for the public and we will not tolerate it.

"Our officers will continue to take a zero tolerance approach to ensure your safety.”
