Missing four-year-old girl Cleo Smith has been found safe and well in a locked house in Carnarvon, WA police say.
According to a statement from Deputy Commissioner Col Blanch, police broke into the house about 1 am and found her in one of the rooms.
One of the officers picked her up and asked her, ‘What’s your name?”
She replied: “My name is Cleo.”
She has been reunited with her parents.
WA police said a Carnarvon man had been taken into custody and was being questioned by detectives.
Cleo had been missing since October 16, having disappeared from the tent she was sleeping in with her parents at the Blowholes, a popular camping site north of Carnarvon.
Her disappearance sparked a widespread search across Western Australia.
More to come.
