Police have seized CCTV of a car driving down a highway in the middle of the night near the campground where Cleo Smith was last seen at.

The four-year-old disappeared in the early hours of October 16 and was last seen in the tent she was sharing with her family at the Blowholes camping site, near Carnarvon in .

Detectives are now looking into footage taken from a home on the North West Coastal Highway, which reportedly shows a sedan travelling down the road at about 3am.

Two people on their way to work had earlier told police they saw a car turning south off Blowholes Road at about 3am on the day Cleo vanished.

Police are now working to identify the driver and registration plates to determine whether or not the car seen in the footage is the same as the one in the reports, reported. 

‘We want the person or persons who were in that vehicle to come forward and contact police,’ Detective Superintendent Rod Wilde earlier told reporters.

‘We want to know who they were and what they were doing.

‘The time is not exact but we believe it to have been between 3am and 3.30am.’

Superintendent Wilde said the evidence was ‘credible’ and the witnesses only came forward after learning of the possible abduction of the child, creditlogin2 having not thought their sighting of the car was significant at the time.  

The witnesses were travelling north on the North West Coastal Highway on their way to work when they spotted the mysterious vehicle leaving the camping ground.

Unfortunately, they were unable to give a description of the car or how many people were inside as it was too dark. 

Other witnesses said they heard the sound of screeching tyres leaving the campsite at around the same time.  

While the official search into the area Cleo was last seen in has been called off, a $1million reward is now on offer for anyone who has information into the disappearance of the four-year-old. 

Deputy police commissioner Col Blanch earlier urged those living in the area to check places that may be ‘abandoned’ on their properties.

‘We would ask anyone to check their sheds, their cars, their old cars, locations that might be abandoned, that’s something that I would encourage,’ he said.

She was last seen by her mother Ellie Smith and step-dad Jake Gliddon at 1.30am on Saturday when she asked for a sip of water.

When her parents woke in the morning at about 6.30am, Cleo along with her grey and red sleeping bag had vanished. 

The zipper on the side of the tent was also nearly completely open when her family woke in the morning.

Police initially believed Cleo had simply wandered off at the remote campsite, but investigators are now convinced she was snatched in the dead of night. 

Anyone within a 1000km radius of the Blowholes campsite has been asked to hand in any security or dashcam footage to police. 

Anyone with other information is urged to call police on 131 444.
