The girl had last been seen in the Hele Park area of Newton Abbot before she was found during a search at a property in Boston, Lincolnshire, on Thursday.

The 34-year-old man who was arrested is now being transferred to the Devon and Cornwall Police area for questioning.

He is originally from Devon, police said.

Police said Leona was found after an "extensive policing operation" over the Christmas period.
