“Why can’t they do this in London?” – Undercover police officers riding dirt bikes give suspected moped thieves, allegedly carrying knives, a taste of their own medicine in Manchester!
In a video captured in North Manchester, two mopeds riding side-by-side approach a roundabout, suddenly they are intercepted by two dirt bikes belonging to Police. One moped rider crashes into the plain-clothes police officer and runs off, while the other – carrying two people – is restrained by another officer. Shortly afterwards, a marked police motorbike appears. Seeing one of the suspects escaping, it speeds off in chase.
