Cops spoofed with Strawberry Meth
Police duped over fictional drug


Police have sent out a hoax drugs warning to schools over a fake drug called "strawberry meth".
The warning said that the drug was being given to children outside their school gates.

At least 80 schools in west Oxfordshire received an e-mail warning, leading to some holding special assemblies.

Thames Valley Police said the error was down to an officer new in his post who had received an e-mail internally and had acted in good faith.
