A robber who was released from prison is wanted back behind bars.

Joshua Soal, 30, from Crosskeys, was handed a nine-year jail sentence at Newport Crown Court in October 2019.

He was released from prison on licence, but, according to Gwent Police, he has since breached the conditions of his release.

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

The force has since issued an appeal to find Soal, who is said to have links to Bargoed.

Anyone with information on his whereabouts can contact Gwent Police on 101, or through direct message on social media, quoting reference 2400113755.

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