A burglar who was released from prison last month is now wanted back behind bars.

Gwent Police has appealed for information on the whereabouts of 29-year-old Yarran Watkins.

Watkins, who police say is from the Blackwood and Risca areas, was given a four-month jail sentence on April 28 this year.

He was released early on Friday June 9, with certain conditions attached to his release.

However, he has since breached those conditions and has been recalled to prison.

Gwent Police does not disclose what the licence conditions were, or what conditions have been broken.

Anyone with information on his whereabouts can call Gwent Police on 101 quoting log 2300194091, or through direct message on Facebook or Twitter.

Alternatively, Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously on 0800 555 111.
