Officers from GMP Wigan West took to social media to inform residents that they had been round several neighbourhoods to take apart several structures, including the one pictured.
A spokesperson said: “Whilst this may seem unfair and that we are intent on spoiling the 'harmless' fun, un-regulated bonfires can increase the risk of injury and things going wrong.
“We want everyone to be safe and enjoy the Bonfire weekend.”
