"North of town" is the closest I've seen to specifics.

Officers said the man was arrested by a police patrol to the north of the mid Wales market town around 3.30pm.

More on the arrested man

Helen Carter has this upodate:

A man arrested in connection with the abduction of April Jones was known to the five-year-old's family, it emerged on Tuesday night. The 46-year-old man from the Machynlleth area was on foot but his empty car was quickly recovered, police said.

Forensic officers were already examining the vehicle tonight and described it as "a vehicle he had use of which is of interest to the inquiry." Police are also looking at whether April's abduction is connected to another attempted abduction in the Aberystwyth area around a week ago.

It comes as police confirmed that they were also looking closely at the movements of known registered sex offenders living in the area. And it is also understood that the man being questioned is known to April's family but is not a relative.

That would explain why the five-year-old apparently got into a car with the person who abducted her of her own free will. Officers said the man was arrested by a police patrol to the north of the market town at around 3.30pm.

I've got the horriblest feeling about what way this is likely to end. I hope very fervently to be wrong...

A woman was seen by ITV News driven inside the cordon surrounding the spot where the 46-year-old man was arrested. It's believed she was in tears and a number of toys were seen in the car.

If they knew who they were looking for, it seems he must be a known SO. Dammit why don't these people get put away forever. They have no business walking the streets. Makes me so angry.

That would explain why she got in the van willingly.
We've gotten so good at teaching our kids "stranger danger" without realizing it's most often someone they trust that ends up being the perp. Sick times we live in

Two of my FB friends in the UK posted about April, so of course I came straight here. Have been following the discussion and links all day. I'm holding my breath and hoping that she is okay, but the report of the crying woman is making me fear the worst I sure hope that I'm wrong. Please let me be wrong.

 

[LittleMissContrary]

Is it likely that the woman in the vehicle that was escorted into the area where the van was found is April's mother?

If so, I am holding out hope that her tears are from joy and not sadness. Also I hope that the toys in the car are a good sign.

Can someone post a link to her fb I can't find it in the search bar
