POLICE were called to reports of vehicles racing in Golborne.

On Saturday evening officers were alerted to vehicles racing at Stone Cross Park.

Officers attended and seized a vehicle involved in the incident using powers under Section 59 of the Police Reform Act 2002.

The driver, from Wigan, was also reported in connection with alleged road traffic offences, police say.

In a statement, Greater Manchester Police said: "With great horsepower comes great responsibility.

"Abuse that power by putting the local community at risk on our roads and we will take action.

"Not only will you potentially have your vehicle seized and be reported for offences, your insurers tend not to cover racing or anti-social behaviour so they may cancel your policy, your premiums will go up and you may struggle to find another insurer willing to cover you."
