An electric motorcycle has been seized in Saddleworth after its driver was allegedly seen driving it illegally.

The bike was seized on High Street in Uppermill.

Officers from GMP's Saddleworth and Lees district said the bike was being "ridden illegally" as its rider has no "adequate" driving licence, no insurance and no MOT.

At the back of the bike, the passenger was also spotted without a helmet.

In a post on social media, GMP said the rider will now be summoned to court for motoring offences "after already being recently advised by police".

The photograph shows the bike positioned outside Saddleworth Police Station.
