AUSSIE cops have arrested the 34-year-old flatmate of Pheobe Bishop – the last person to see the teen before her trip to the airport.

James Wood was taken into custody in the Queensland city of Bundaberg on Wednesday – but no charges have been laid.

He was stopped at gunpoint while driving the grey Hyundai hatchback that has been central to the police investigation, according to 7 News Australia.

It comes just days after cops stopped the search for Pheobe – who went missing three weeks ago.

The Australian teen was supposed to board a flight on May 15 to see her boyfriend – but mysteriously she never checked in and hasn’t been seen since.

She was last seen in the morning of the day of her flight, after she was driven to the airport by her two housemates, Wood and Tanika Bromley.

The trio had been living in a derelict pad together, which cops have now declared a crime scene.

Her distressed mum, Kylie Johnson, has made a series of heartbreaking pleas begging anyone with information to come forward.

She also claimed that her daughter’s sudden disappearance was out of character.

Police have launched an extensive search effort – but they have failed to locate Pheobe or any of her belongings.
