<TEXT>Police will speak to the mother of a four-year-old girl who was left at home
alone, now she's returned from holiday.

The girl was found by officers in Crawley after her 16-year-old brother was
arrested, along with another boy, on suspicion of driving offences.

It's thought the mum won't be arrested as it's not an offence to leave a child
in the care of a 16-year-old unless it puts them at risk.
