Western Australia police have announced that missing four-year-old Cleo Smith has been found ‘alive and well’ in a home in Carnarvon, and a man has been arrested. ‘It’s my privilege to announce that in the early hours of this morning, the Western Australian police force rescued Cleo Smith. Cleo is alive and well’, announced deputy commissioner Col Blanch. ‘A police team broke their way into a locked house in Carnarvon at about 1am. They found a little Cleo in one of those rooms’. Cleo had been missing since 16 October after disappearing from a campsite where she was staying with her parents at the Blowholes, north of Carnarvon. Police launched a weeks-long widespread search across Western Australia. ‘This is the outcome we all hoped and prayed for,’ Blanch said. ‘Cleo was reunited with her parents a short time ago’
