Wigan police seize abandoned low-loader truck causing an obstruction

Officers had discovered that the low loader, found in Hindley on Monday January 22, did not have any tax, insurance or MOT.

The discovery had been made while high visibility patrols were being conducted in the Hindley and Abram areas during Neighbourhood Week of Action.
