BBCA man has been arrested in connection with drug dealing offences at a Bridgend prison.
Detectives from the regional organised crime unit for south Wales, investigating the supply of drugs in the area of Parc prison, have arrested a 36-year-old man from North Cornelly, Bridgend county, on suspicion of conveying contraband into a prison.
He has been bailed pending further enquiries.
In March, three arrests were made in connection with suspected drug supply into HMP Parc.
A 40-year-old man from Birmingham and a 34-year-old woman from Penylan, Cardiff, were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to supply controlled drugs and money laundering and later released under investigation.
A 34-year-old man, also from Penylan in Cardiff, was arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of controlled drugs. He was released on conditional bail pending further enquiries.
South Wales Police said the latest arrest was not linked to any investigation into deaths at the prison.
Nine people have died at the jail since the start of February, with at least four linked to substance misuse.
