VALETTA, Malta, June 21 (UPI) -- Authorities conducted a full-scale search of Malta Thursday after at least five alleged sightings of a girl who looks like Madeleine McCann.

The Guardian newspaper said a blond girl who resembled the 4-year-old missing girl was reportedly spotted by a British couple and four independent witnesses in Malta's capital, Valetta, and other parts of the Mediterranean island.

Madeleine McCann was taken from a hotel in Portugal seven weeks ago. Possible sightings of the girl were reported in Morocco, Argentina, Spain, Switzerland, north Portugal and north Wales.

This is the first time, however, that there has been more than one alleged sighting in the same area, the newspaper said.
