A four-year-old Australian girl has been found "alive and well" more than two weeks after she went missing during a family camping trip.
Cleo Smith was found in a "locked house" in the coastal town of Carnarvon, not far from where she was last seen, Western Australia police said in a statement posted to Facebook.
"This is the outcome we all hoped and prayed for," police said.
"It's my privilege to announce that in the early hours of this morning, the Western Australia Police Force rescued Cleo Smith," Deputy Commissioner Col Blanch said in the statement.
Police forced their way into the house and found the young girl inside, Deputy Commissioner Blanch said.
"One of the officers picked her up into his arms and asked her 'what's your name?'," police said in the statement.
"She said - 'My name is Cleo'."
The four-year-old has now been reunited with her parents.
Police last month had offered Aus$1 million for information leading to Cleo's recovery after she was feared abducted from her family's tent at a remote campsite in a coastal tourist spot, about 1,000 kilometres north of Perth, on 16 October.
Detective Superintendent Rod Wilde said at the time that the investigation "leads us to believe that she was taken from the tent", and that authorities had reason to fear for her safety.
Her mother, Ellie, described waking at 6am to find the tent unzipped and her oldest daughter missing.
Police today said they had detained a man from Carnarvon for questioning.
In their Facebook statement, police said there would be more information about the investigation forthcoming.
