A shoplifter is wanted back in prison after breaching the conditions of his release.

Yarran Watkins, 30, from Blackwood, was given an eight-week prison sentence on Monday January 22.

However, Gwent Police has now launched an appeal to find Watkins, who is said to have links to Cefn Fforest.

The force does not disclose what the licence conditions were, or what conditions have been broken.
