It's a fair cop: Chinese man back behind bars for impersonating police - again

A 21-year-old man with only a primary school education has been arrested again in Guangzhou for posing as a policeman and claiming he came from a well-off family, the Guangzhou Daily reports.

The man began posing as an officer in 2013 and was arrested the same year in Jiaoling county, Meizhou .

Last December, he was arrested again for illegal entry to private property after posing as a police officer.

He was sentenced to nine months in prison – with a one-year reprieve – in April.

However, during his probation, he kept posing as a policeman and was arrested again last month.

Throughout his police officer charade, he walked into nightclubs without paying, borrowed money and chatted up women for sex on social media.
