Police Get New Powers to Destroy Problem Vehicles | Manchester News
Description
Police are set to gain new powers to destroy cars and e-scooters linked to anti-social behavior within hours—not weeks—thanks to fast-tracked legislation. Currently, seized vehicles must sit for 14 days before disposal, but this change aims to shut down disruptive car meets and dangerous street antics faster. With hundreds of vehicles often involved in these chaotic gatherings, communities are fed up with noise, danger, and constant disruption. Groups like The AA and Resolve back the move, calling it a vital step to restore safety and deter future nuisance behavior. Coming amid ASB Awareness Week, the government is making clear: protecting communities from vehicle-related chaos is a top priority.
