Police have been 'ramping up' action against anti-social behaviour on bikes across Stockport throughout summer.

Greater Manchester Police deployed drones, motorbike units and patrols to tackle anti-social off-road bikes, E-bikes and motorbikes between June and September.

And the force said they will 'continue to take action' against this kind of behaviour.

In eight 'days of action' throughout the period - where police were deployed in force to address the issue - 14 vehicles were seized, four arrests were made and three traffic offence reports were issued.

The arrests were made for offences including drugs supply and theft.

"If you have information about anti-social use of off road bikes or motorbikes, we encourage you to contact the neighbourhood team on [email protected]", Greater Manchester Police said.

"You can also contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111."
