Flintshire mum jailed after cover-up for hit-and-run son

Arlo was left with multiple injuries after the hit-and-run on Central Drive in Shotton, Flintshire, on 11 September 2024.

After the crash, Hunt drove Longhurst to York, and Haran burned her brother’s clothes.

But Longhurst was arrested in York and admitted dangerous driving.

At a trial at Mold Crown Court, Longhurst, Hunt and Follows were all found guilty of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.

Follows was sentenced to 26 months in prison; Hunt was sentenced to 21-months; and Haran to nine months in prison.

The judge told Follows she “organised all this”, despite a variety of factors suggesting she should take “a different course of action”.

He said Follows and Hunt had shown “no remorse” for Arlo being seriously injured.

“No sentence I can pass can correct the terrible wrong that was done to this little boy,” he said.
