The victim was confused and went with the man to draw out and hand over the cash.

Subsequent enquiries by the victim found that no cash was owed to the garage and the man had no connection to the garage.

A Dorset Police spokesperson said: “Following enquiries by officers and a CCTV appeal, a man has now come forward and is assisting with the investigation. No arrests have been made.”
