Mum and teen daughter rescued after 'being held captive' for years
A 47-year-old man has been arrested after a mum and her teenage daughter were rescued from the shack where they say they were held captive for three years.

The woman met the man on Facebook that year and had a brief relationship with him, but when she wanted to end it, he allegedly kidnapped her and her daughter, according to reports.
