The court heard that on May 17, 2023, an 86-year-old woman was outside her residence on Powerscourt Road in Portsmouth, disposing of rubbish in a bin, when Charlee Frost approached her, ostensibly seeking directions. After their brief interaction, Frost departed. However, upon returning indoors, the elderly victim encountered Frost descending the stairs, claiming to have used the restroom. Suspicion arose, leading the victim to discover that her purse, which contained her bank card, had vanished. Shortly thereafter, the victim spotted Frost on Farlington Road and confronted her. An altercation ensued, during which Frost assaulted the victim and subsequently used the stolen bank card to make purchases at a nearby store. Law enforcement swiftly apprehended Frost, recovering the bank card and jewellery. The victim, having sustained cuts and bruises during the incident, received medical treatment.
