Gwent Police are appealing for help to find a man who has breached the conditions of his prison release last year. Leon Wells, 40, from Abertysswg in Caerphilly, has breached his licence conditions following his release from prison on January 28, 2022 and has now been recalled to prison.
Wells had received a sentence of 28 months in prison for breaching his serious crime prevention order at Cardiff Crown Court in November 2020. The ex-soldier, who was jailed over a decade ago for killing a dad-of-three in an unprovoked attack, later became involved in organised crime and was jailed again for breaching an order at the end of 2020.
Leon Wells, who served in the Balkans and Sierra Leone, was sent to prison for three years in 2009 for manslaughter after punching former miner Alan Brown outside a pub in Tredegar in an unprovoked attack. Mr Brown never regained consciousness, despite efforts to save him. Since that conviction, Wells has been in and out of the courts and was made subject to a serious crime prevention order (SCPO) in 2018.
