Police pulled over a van transporting a child's swingset on its roof in south Auckland during the weekend.

Pictures of the van with the bar of the playset slung across the roof and the swing dangling down one side were posted on New Zealand Facebook page Kiwi As Bro this morning, with the words "Seemed like a good idea at the time".

The swing set's legs dangled on either side of the van just above the road.

The picture was not a fake, police confirmed.

The van was pulled over on Robertson Road in Mangere East at 4.45pm on Sunday.
