POLICE were called to a retail park to reports of youths starting fires.
As officers attended Loom Retail Park in Leigh shortly after 8pm on Saturday night (November 16), around a dozen youths made off on foot in different directions.
One of the suspects left behind a bike, pictured below.

Police are appealing for anyone who recognises the bike to get in touch and are urging parents to know where their children are.
Greater Manchester Police said: "At 8.10pm on Saturday we responded to reports of youths setting fires on the Loom Retail Park off Spinning Jenny Way and on attendance by officers 10 to 15 youths ran in all directions, one of them leaving their bike behind.
"As you are aware we are having issues with anti-social behaviour in Leigh town centre. I would ask parents to know where their children are and if any parent recognises this bike as their child's bike to get in touch with us so we can speak with them.
"We are reviewing CCTV to identify those involved and will be dealing with those identified."
