High-Profile Appeals and Rewards

Several appeals relate to individuals who have allegedly breached licence conditions. Samson Leyson, 26, from Maritime Quarter, Swansea, is wanted on recall to prison. Rhys Jones, 24, from Rhymney, is thought to have breached his licence conditions after being released from prison; he was serving a sentence for possession of drugs with intent to supply.

Gethin Jones, 40, from Caerphilly, is suspected of breaching his licence conditions; he was serving a sentence for robbery.

Other Appeals Across Wales

Russell Turner, 29, failed to return to HMP Prescoed. 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. Police advised the public not to approach him, stating: "Turner has links to the West Midlands area, mainly Birmingham, and he is not a registered sex offender.
