Officer James Pottinger, with Gwent Police, said: “Once he came out of prison Liam Slade had the opportunity to leave the life of crime behind him.

"However, he chose to ignore the conditions imposed upon him by the court, which were put in place to protect the public from his offending.

“This sentence is a warning to anyone who believes they can continue their criminal lifestyle after being released.

“We’ll do all that we can to seek justice and take action against those who continue to offend.”
