Operation Hurricane

🚨 Operation Hurricane – Why It Matters 🚨

This weekend, another 7 illegal bikes were seized in Wigan and Leigh as part of Operation Hurricane, our ongoing initiative to tackle dangerous and antisocial riding across Greater Manchester.

These bikes aren’t just a nuisance, they pose serious risks to public safety, disrupt communities, and are often linked to wider criminal activity. By removing them from our streets, we’re working to:

✅ Reduce noise and disruption in residential areas
✅ Prevent accidents and injuries caused by reckless riding
✅ Dismantle networks involved in illegal vehicle use
✅ Reassure the public that action is being taken

📞 How to report illegal bike activity:

Emergency: Call 999

Non-emergency: Call 101/GMP Live Chat

Report anonymously via Crimestoppers:

Online: crimestoppers-uk.org

Phone: 0800 555 111

We’re committed to making our streets safer for everyone. If you witness illegal bike activity or have information that could help, please get in touch.
