Police in Wales have issued an urgent "do not approach" appeal to find a prisoner who walked out of jail.

Dwayde Stock, 32, absconded from HMP Prescoed in south Wales on Saturday. He was serving a sentence for drug supply and modern day slavery offences, Gwent Police said.

Stock's last known location was Malpas Road, Newport, at 6pm on Saturday. Malpas Road is located about 9 miles away from the prison.

Police said the abscondment poses a "potential risk" and urged the public not to approach Stock if they see him. Instead, people should call the police.

The prisoner is described as a white man, about 5ft9in tall, of slim build and wearing his hair tied in a ponytail. He was last seen wearing a grey jacket, a grey tracksuit top, black tracsuit bottoms, black trainers and a black watch.

Stock has links to Newport, Cardiff, Lancashire, Swansea and Neath, Port Talbot, police said. The 32-year-old was one of six men who were jailed in August 2023 following an investigation into an organised crime group from Newport.

The group was exploiting teenagers in Neath to sell drugs on their behalf, South Wales Police said at the time. Stock received the lengthiest sentence out of the six men - nine years.

A statement released by Gwent Police reads: "Gwent Police is appealing for information to find Dwayde Stock, aged 32, who absconded from HMP Prescoed on Saturday 14 November.

"Stock's last known location was Malpas Road, Newport at 6pm on Saturday 14 November. He was serving a sentence for drug supply and modern day slavery offences.
