WA man who fled burning car found safe

A man who went missing in Western Australia's remote Mid West after abandoning his burning car near an airport has been found safe and well.

A land and air search was launched on Sunday for Robert Paul Barry, 33, following his disappearance on Friday after displaying some erratic behaviour.

After running out of fuel and sleeping in the shed of a stranger's residence on Thursday, police refuelled his car but later found it on fire near Wiluna airport.

They believe he took a suitcase out of the burning vehicle and walked into nearby scrubland.

On Monday, police said he had been found safe and well near Leinster overnight.

He is not facing any criminal charges.
