Police investigating the disappearance of schoolgirl Shannon Matthews arrested her stepfather this morning.
Twenty-two-year-old Craig Meehan was held on suspicion of possessing indecent images of children.
West Yorkshire Police said the suspect, who they didn't name, was detained after officers examined a number of computers during the search for the nine-year-old, who went missing for nearly four weeks before being found at a property in Dewsbury in Yorkshire.
