POLICE have issued a warning after several reports of anti-social behaviour at Spinning Gate Shopping Centre in Leigh.
Officers say there have been incidents reported such as youths riding through the centre on bicycles.
Most of the reports have been made on Sundays or in evenings at around 4.45pm.
Anyone caught riding through the centre will have their bike seized, police have warned.
A police spokesman said: "The reports include youths riding through the centre on bikes.
"This is not only a nuisance for the staff and management at the centre, but also dangerous for shoppers, many of whom are elderly or with young children.
"This behaviour is unacceptable and will not be tolerated, especially in the busy run up to Christmas.
