On 10 May 2021, Hunt broke into a property and viciously assaulted an elderly man. She stole his mobile phone and bank card during the ordeal.

“I’m really pleased with yesterday’s outcome; this was an extremely distressing incident for the victim who was subjected to an awful ordeal in their own home which should be a safe space.”
