Caerphilly: So, there was this wild incident where a car thief just took off with a woman still hanging onto her vehicle. Can you believe it? She was literally dragged along the road!
This all went down when Carl Hunt, 34, and a buddy decided to steal a car outside a gym. They had just been in a store, grabbing some stuff, and then spotted Carly Georgijev’s Nissan Note.
Carly had some trouble starting her car but finally got it going. She went back inside the gym for a moment, and that’s when Hunt jumped in the driver’s seat. When she came back and saw what was happening, she yelled at him to get out.
She tried to stop him by hanging onto the car, but he just reversed and took off. It was a scary moment for her as she felt herself getting dragged. Thankfully, she let go before anything worse happened, but she did get some scrapes.
Later, the police found the car and Hunt’s DNA inside. When they caught him, he claimed he didn’t remember anything because he was “off his head” on drugs and booze. Classic excuse, right?
Things got crazier when he was spotted swerving in a van on the M4. The police tracked him down, but he was found asleep at the wheel. When they tried to wake him, he just tried to drive off again, hitting a police car in the process!
After a wild chase, he was finally caught. Hunt has a long list of previous convictions, so it’s not his first rodeo. In court, he pleaded guilty to multiple charges and got a 24-month sentence, plus a driving ban.
His lawyer mentioned that he hopes to move in with his brother after prison to get away from bad influences. Let’s hope he sticks to that plan!
