Oldham police have seized five illegal e-bikes during a targeted operation addressing a rise in anti-social behaviour involving modified electric bikes and motorcycles in St Marys and Coldhurst.
Officers carried out a proactive operation yesterday (4 July) following a series of incidents in the St Marys and Coldhurst area of Oldham, where we have seen an increase in anti-social behaviour (ASB) linked to individuals riding Sur-Ron motorcycles and illegally modified electric bikes. Specialist units from our motorcycle and traffic patrols were deployed alongside our neighbourhood officers and supported by the National Police Air Service (NPAS) to conduct a full day of action in the area.
The operation resulted in the seizure of five illegal e-bikes and several arrests. Officers also carried out numerous stop searches as part of the activity.
We will not tolerate anti-social behaviour in our communities, and we will relentlessly tackle criminality, disrupt ASB and improve safety for local communities. As a result of this activity, Sonny Housby (19/10/2005) of Durden Mews, Shaw was charged with dangerous driving, failure to stop, driving with no license and driving with no insurance.
He will appear before Manchester and Salford Magistrates Court on Wednesday 11 November 2026. Share
