A criminal is wanted back behind bars following his release from prison.

Allen Bowden, 50, from Blackwood, was released from prison on licence on November 7.

However, Gwent Police has said he has since breached his licence conditions, and an appeal to find him has been launched.

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

Anyone with information on Bowden’s whereabouts can contact Gwent Police on 101 or through direct message on social media, quoting 2300391798.
