Appeal for informaton to locate Prescoed absconder

Gwent Police is appealing for information to locate 25 year old Christopher Norman Jones who failed to return to HMP Prescoed on Saturday 12th March.

In February 2010 he was sentenced to three years at Merthyr Crown Court after being convicted of arson.

He is described as white, 6’1” tall, of medium build, with red hair and blue eyes.

He is not a registered sex offender.

It is believed there may be a potential risk due to the fact that 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.

It’s believed Christopher could be in the Merthyr area where he has contacts.

Members of the public are advised not to approach him but to call police if they have any information regarding his whereabouts on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
