A householder has criticised Greater Manchester Police after his CCTV captured a patrol car knocking over his bins before driving off. The incident happened on Westholme Road in Didsbury at 8am on Friday.
Residents reported hearing a loud crashing noise as the bin, full of empty bottles, was knocked over. The owner of the bin was in the gym when he was alerted to the noise by his partner back home - he checked his CCTV remotely on his phone and was shocked to discovered a liveried police patrol car was responsible.
The CCTV shows the patrol slow to a halt on Westholme Road before beginning to perform a u-turn. The police car reverses and knocks over two bins.
