It's a 'stranger danger' notification. Apparently 'a ... pupil was approached yesterday afternoon by a man in a blue van with a dog pretending to be a policeman'.

Made me laugh!! Always make sure your clauses relate to the correct bit of your sentence...

I'd love to meet a dog pretending to be a policeman, and it would be a damn good ploy to get me into a stranger's car

Ooh that's cheered me up no end!

I just walked past a shop with a sign in the window saying 'Ear Piercing Sunbeds'. Did make me giggle!
