What’s more, surveying these sites is against the law: Entering condemned, forbidden and abandoned property is considered trespassing and can carry fines and even jail time. Most of the places these explorers trod are derelict their structural integrity is questionable, and sometimes these sites are lousy with toxic materials.
Abandoned buildings that may make some shudder with the creeps offer invitations of exploration to others. In some places, new town quarters are built on top of old ones. Within and underneath functioning cities, sections have been lost or left to decay. There are entire modern abandoned cities dotting the planet, begging to be investigated. And some people actually prefer this kind of forest. These are cities of concrete and steel with skyscrapers and underground tunnels. This afternoon, a man has been arrested on suspicion of burglary and remains in police custody for questioning.While natural forests are composed of trees, shrubbery, wildlife and streams, there's a new great outdoors here on Earth: man-made forests.
"Since then, work has been ongoing to relocate the contents and complete the controlled decommissioning of the site – this process has been subject to significant delay due to the presence of asbestos and the serious health risk this poses to those who enter and interfere with the building. Once officers and staff were relocated, the buildings were fully secured. Prior to closure, the buildings were used by operational police officers and staff so, by nature, contained materials of evidential value. "The premises in this footage is still owned by Greater Manchester Police. Officers are present at the site and are prepared to take further action should any offences be committed. As with any decommissioned and empty building site, there is also a potential risk to personal safety when attempting to gain access. "We would like to remind members of the public that any attempts to break into the site and enter can amount to a criminal offence. The incident in question and circumstances surrounding it are now subject to an investigation and enquiries are ongoing. In a statement Greater Manchester Police said: "We are aware of an incident of trespassing by a member of the public at one of our GMP sites which is in the process of being decommissioned. Concrete bollards have been erected to stop vehicles entering the yard. The Manchester Evening News is not naming the location of the building which is boarded-up and has been empty for many years. (Image: Vincent Cole - Manchester Evening News) Bad they've left stuff like they have." Another person says: "OMG such expensive equipment left and so many things that could be in the wrong hands." One says: "Wow some great pictures there. More than 350 people have commented on the post. In a final clip an evidence bag containing a bedsheet used by a prison inmate to take their own life is found. At one point a large blade is found with an evidence tag attached to it.

The force says that all doors and windows on the vast complex were secure. The force says an investigation into an alleged burglary has begun after the posting of images and a 16-minute tour of the building on Facebook. Once inside, film and pictures were taken of evidence bags, a weapon, and details of suspects which had been left in the building. GMP has launched an investigation and made an arrest after an urban explorer was able to get into a former police centre.
