Man arrested
A missing child in Australia has been found more than two weeks after disappearing from a family camping holiday.
4 year-old Cleo Smith was camping near the town of Carnarvon, north-west of the country.
Officers have arrested a man, after they smashed their way into a locked house where she was found.
The man is in custody & is being questioned by Western Australia Police.
In a post on social media, Cleo's mother said the family is "whole again".
Police deputy commissioner Col Blanch says he's pleased Cleo has been found safe & well:
One police officer has called the recovery the "best moment of his career".
