A 34-year-old woman arrested on suspicion of helping prison absconder Brian Grady to escape from HMP Prescoed has been charged.
The woman, from Bristol, was charged with assisting a prisoner to escape from prison and appeared at Caerphilly Magistrates Court last Friday morning (18th January).
A 37-year-old man from Bristol also arrested on suspicion of assisting a prisoner to escape from prison has been released from police custody with no further action.
Gwent Police is continuing to appeal for information to locate 26-year-old Brian Grady (also known as Brian Revill), who absconded HMP Prescoed on Monday 14th January.
In July 2003 he was sentenced to serve at least 11 years at Bristol Crown Court after being convicted of murder and robbery.
He is described as white, 5ft 11ins, of medium build, with short light brown hair and blue eyes. He has a scar under his left eye and speaks with a Bristol accent.
It's believed Grady could be in the Bristol area where he has contacts.
Members of the public are advised not to approach him but to call police on 101 if they have any information regarding his whereabouts.
