Police are appealing for information regarding the whereabouts of an absconder from HMP Prescoed. Thirty three year old Wyndham Richard Thomas was convicted for aggravated burglary and murder in 1997 and was serving a life sentence. He is not a registered sex offender.
Wyndham Thomas is described as white, five feet seven inches tall, medium build with a scar on the right side of his forehead.
It is believed he has contacts throughout the South Wales areas, particularly Caerphilly and Maesteg.
It is believed there may be a potential risk to the public due to the fact he is no longer in the custody of the prison service.
Gwent Police has activated its operational plan with the aim of locating him and the prison is co-operating fully with us. Members of the public are advised not to approach Wyndham Thomas and to call Gwent Police on 01633 838111.
