Vehicle pursuits are unfortunately a dangerous staple of a traffic officers work, hence strict & robust processes in place to manage them, coupled with very intensive training. This perpetrator drove dangerously trying to evade officers yesterday. Caught & rightfully incarcerated

Excited to show his new bike against our new vehicle, he definitely won the brightest blue light competition.

HAY, looks like the driver drew the short straw with this one. Vehicle and trailer stopped on the M66 due to having no number plate or lights. Checks then confirmed the trailer had no brakes either. Prohibited and removed from the motorway. Driver prosecuted.

A common misconception is that we won't pursue those who ride anti-socially using off road bikes / scooters. Not true. Once we can put a structured response into place, we work relentlessly in partnership with colleagues such as NPAS North West Region to get these offenders locked up
