4-year-old Cleo Smith found alive 2 weeks after being snatched from campsite

Police smashed their way into a suburban house on Wednesday and rescued a four-year-old girl whose disappearance from her family’s camping tent on Australia’s remote west coast more than two weeks ago both horrified and captivated the nation.

Footage released by Western Australia Police Force showed the moment Cleo Smith was rescued and in the arms of an officer in the early hours of Wednesday.

Cleo was last seen in her family's tent at about 1.30 a.m. local time on October 16 at the remote Blowholes Shacks campsite in Macleod, about 900 km north of Perth, the capital of Western Australia state. When her parents woke next morning, she was gone.

Australian police had feared the girl had been abducted and offered a A$1 million ($743,000) reward for any information leading to the girl's whereabouts. A team of 140 people had been working on the case with police fielding more than 1,000 tips from the public.
