This vehicle was identified as a cloned vehicle, and came into the Merseyside area this morning. Our #TPAC patrols have stung it, a short pursuit and brought to a conclusion with the driver being caught and arrested for a number of offences!

Driver of this vehicle hasn’t learnt their lesson. Second time seized for being a provisional licence holder, unsupervised with no L plates displayed. Driver once again #reported and the vehicle #seized! #OpDriveInsured

Whilst dealing with an unrelated incident, a child rides this electric motorcycle along the road towards our officer, shortly followed by their parent. Vehicle stopped and #seized. These vehicle are not for use on roads or public spaces.

The driver of this Toyota drove from Rugby to Liverpool to sell his car. Unfortunately he drove all the way here on a provisional license, unsupervised without any 'L' plates. Vehicle seized and driver reported.

Thank you to the member of the public who contacted us to report the driver of this vehicle smoking cannabis while behind the wheel. The vehicle was stopped by RPU and surprisingly the driver failed a drugs wipe. #Arrested.

This #BMW was stopped due to excess speed. After speaking with the driver we discovered they was disqualified from driving and not insured to drive the vehicle. #Arrested #VehicleSeized

@Adespoto3 @NPASNorthWest Given the amount of crime that is committed by people riding these motorcycles, the amount of damage caused to the grounds which could cost a lot of money to repair, and the risks that they put themselves and other people at - I'd say its worthy of #NPAS

@MerPolTraffic @NPASNorthWest A helicopter for some kids on bikes, I take it the Chief Constable plays at the golf club?

After reports of motorcycles causing damage to the grounds of a local golf course, RPU attended with assistance from @NPASNorthWest. We tracked these Sur-Ron's to some woodland where the riders attempted to hide them from the eye in the sky. Seized and riders arrested! #Crusher👋🏻

@StuartFrazer @NPASNorthWest They will be disposed of - very unlikely the owners will get them back!

@MerPolTraffic @NPASNorthWest So what happens to those bikes now? Will the owners be able to reclaim them?

@houghtonc79 It is a separate charge for each substance over the limit 👍🏻 each insurance company has different terms, so would depend on the specific policy

@MerPolTraffic Pity they can't face 3 charges, one for each prohibited substance. Can they also be done for no insurance with their policy likely being invalidated due to the drink and drugs?

This vehicle was stopped after being seen undertaking vehicles and swerving between lanes on the M57. The driver failed a breathalyser and then a drugs wipe for cannabis and cocaine! #Hat-Trick #Arrested

This van was stopped by RPU due to having no brake lights. The driver’s day went from bad to worse when they then failed a drugs wipe for cannabis. #Arrested.

A concerned member of the public contacted us to report these 3 off road motorbikes riding up and down Cut Lane, Kirby. RPU attended and all 3 bikes were seized no insurance. #OffTheCrusher

This unregistered quad was seized for no licence or insurance. The 31 year old woman riding it was adamant that as it was electric insurance and a licence plate was not needed. #wrong #seized #opgears

This #Ford was sighted contravening a bus lane restriction and stopped by #RPU. The driver was found in possession of cannabis, a stanley knife, and tested positive for drugs at the roadside. #arrested

This #Jaguar was sighted at high speed, performing a dangerous overtake in the #Huyton area. The vehicle was stopped, the driver tested positive for drugs at the roadside and was #arrested.

@MrGavinW he was not but he definitely shouldn't keep all his eggs in one basket that he wont receive a W-hopping fine

@MerPolTraffic Bet he’s not a happy bunny

As part of our #commitment to #Road Safety, officers regularly carry out speed enforcement 🚔 Despite what some may believe, this is exactly why — 101mph anywhere is unacceptable and puts lives at risk and upsets the easter bunny. #M53 #Synd2 #summons #NPCC #noeggsforyou 🚗 🚓

The vehicle was stolen during a knifepoint robbery in the @LancsPolice area. It came into Merseyside and our #TPAC patrols stung it and boxed it. 3 occupants arrested for a number of offences.

This #Surron failed to stop for our patrol, and was pursued for a short time before the rider went into a field and run out of talent. #seized
