A MAN who police say could pose a risk to others if he doesn't have access to his medication remains missing.

Jaymie James was last seen in Tan Y Coed, Pontypool, at midday on Friday, October 13, 2017.

According to police, the 50-year-old, who is from the Torfaen town, has a condition for which he needs medication.

A Gwent Police spokesman said: "He does not have access to it, and as a result he could pose a risk to himself or others."

Mr James is described as white, around 6’2” tall, of a slim build with brown hair and a long brown beard.

He often wears sandals and army green style shorts and jumper.

If anyone sees Mr James they are advised by police not to approach him as he has been violent in the past.

Anyone with any information is asked to call 101 or direct message Gwent Police on Facebook or Twitter quoting log number 376 15/10/17 or you can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
