Dorset Police are appealing for witnesses to come forward following a robbery at a service station in Corfe Mullen – with a CCTV image of the suspect being released.

At approximately 9pm on Tuesday 6 June a man entered the Esso garage on Wareham Road and went to the till to purchase an item.

As he was being served, he reached over and grabbed money from the till and left the garage in the direction of Blandford Road.

The suspect is described as white, approximately 30 years old, and five feet ten inches tall. He was wearing a beanie hat with a logo on the front, a light grey Slazenger tracksuit, black and white striped socks and white trainers. No one was physically injured during the robbery.
