#CVU came across this vehicle broken down in a dangerous position and no recovery, so provided cover before attempting to get her tyre inflated. Soon off the road to safety 👍 Here to help not just prosecute. #SaferRoads

Stolen earlier. This bike was spotted by #CVU 2 up. Unfortunately the 2 got away upon spotting the unmarked car sneaking up on them. However, bike recovered & returned to its young owner with minimal ignition wire damage. Hopefully back on the road soon 🙏

This Yamaha was stolen from Eccles this afternoon and recovered in Buile Hill Park less than 10 minutes later after keen eyed members of the public reported the bike in the bushes. Minimal damage luckily and vehicle returned to owner.

This adapted bike was stopped by the #GMPMotorcycleUnit, ridden by a 14 year old. Whilst an ebike can be ridden by a 14 year old, this isn’t an ebike. It’s a motorcycle. It was therefore seized and the rider reported for all offences. #fatal4 #165

Stopped on the M62 as not displaying any registration plate. The registration plate (which was too small and didn't comply with regulations had "fallen off" allegedly 😉 ), however the sticky back tape still had the tape affixed. Relevant traffic offence report issued #CVU

This one sighted on the Monton loop line by #GMPMotorcycleUnit. This one even looks closer to a motorcycle than normal. Complete with a teddy of an angry face emoji. How ironic. Vehicle seized and rider reported. #fatal4 #165
