Gwent Police are searching for a prison absconder in Monmouthshire.

Russell Turner, 29, failed to return to HMP Prescoed on Saturday 13 January.

He was convicted of conspiracy to supply class A drugs, possessing criminal property and assault of an emergency worker at Birmingham Crown Court in March 2020.

He is described as around 6ft tall with brown hair and brown eyes. He has a tattoo on the left of his neck saying 'believe' and a tattoo on his left hand saying 'russ'.

Turner has links to the West Midlands area.

He is not a registered sex offender.

It is believed there may be a potential risk due to the fact that the individual is no longer in the custody of the prison service.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Gwent police on 101 quoting 2400015026.
