"57 minutes! I mean come on. I had barely started on my strawberries and cream. Jumping up and down in those white skimpy things. I have heard longer album tracks and spent longer composting 6 nil leg over love letters to Dave Martin, my number one ball boy.

A vulnerable man was targeted by an online scammer who tricked him into believing he had befriended Harry Potter character Hermione Granger.

The resident of Milford Haven, Pembrokeshire, thought he was speaking to the fictional teacher's pet and friend of the title character in the series, written by JK Rowling and played by actor Emma Watson in the major film franchise adaptations.

The fraudster asked the vulnerable resident for money, but a police community support officer (PCSO) was able to convince the victim he was being scammed.

Now, Rachel O'Neill has been recognised for using the "strong" trust she has built up with the community to protect the resident.

"It has taken a long time to build up trust in the community and explain that I am here to help," said Ms O'Neill, who has spent six years with the Milford Haven Neighbourhood Policing and Prevention Team.

She said while it took time for the "penny to drop" in this case, she was pleased serious harm had been prevented and that she was able to use the experience to offer education on scammers and how they operate.

The 45-year-old mum-of-three said some vulnerable adults in her community were once "so frightened of the police", but have grown in confidence.

"When people see a familiar face, they learn to trust you and they therefore will feel more comfortable to talk to the police and report any suspicious behaviour," she said.
