#CVU & #RPU spent the last 3 days & nights escorting hauliers, delivering new bridge structures into Stockport for #Networkrail project. Great effort by all, delivered piece by piece with precision organisation. Big thanks to the public for their patience #Teamwork

#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

This Bentley was stopped in Salford on the M602 this evening due to its illegal number plate. Checks revealed the driver was not insured and so the vehicle was seized. #Bentley #GMP #Police #NoInsurance

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 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

These straps were holding a brand new £200K boat on the rear of a trailer. Straps & Ratchets are consumable items and must be replaced when worn, holed, cut or otherwise damaged. Please check your strap regularly, like you should check your vehicle. #CVU #safe4summer

This scaffolding van was stopped by #CVU officers on the M60 for load security issues. Further checks revealed that the van was 50% overweight, coming in at a staggering 5.2t and the driver’s licence had also expired. PG170 issued and driver reported #seized #fatal4 #SaferSummer

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
