A missing four-year-old girl has been found safe more than two weeks after she went missing from a campsite in Australia.

Police broke into a locked house and found Cleo Smith in one of the rooms.

She has now been reunited with her relieved family, while a man is in police custody.

The case generated huge media attention, with some comparing it to that of Madeleine McCann who disappeared from holiday accommodation in Portugal in 2007.

Police officer Col Blanch said: ‘It’s my privilege to announce that in the early hours of this morning, the Western Australia police force rescued Cleo Smith.

‘Cleo is alive and well.

‘One of the officers picked her up into his arms and asked her, “What’s your name?”

‘She said, “My name is Cleo.”‘
