Three British teenagers are back in the UK after being detained for allegedly trying to travel to Syria to join terror group Islamic State.
The group, a 19-year-old male and two boys aged 17, are being held at a central London police station after being arrested on suspicion of preparing terrorist acts, said Scotland Yard.
They were apprehended at Sabiha Gokcen airport in Istanbul.
They first travelled from England to Spain before flying on to Turkey, according to Sky sources.
In a statement, the Metropolitan Police said counter-terrorism officers were alerted on Friday that two 17-year-olds from northwest London had gone missing and were believed to be travelling to Syria.
Enquiries revealed they had gone with a third male, aged 19.
Officers alerted Turkish authorities who intercepted all three and prevented them crossing into Syria.
A Met police spokesman said: "On Saturday, 14 March the three males returned to the UK and at approximately 11.10am were arrested on suspicion of preparation of terrorist acts contrary to section five of the Terrorism Act 2006.
"All three have been taken to a central London police station, where they remain in custody."
The detention of the males reveals cooperation between the UK and Turkish police forces, which has faced criticism after three British schoolgirls travelled to Syria to join IS.
Kadiza Sultana, 16, Shamima Begum, 15, and Amira Abase, 15, flew from Gatwick to Istanbul on 17 February and are feared to have continued to Syria to become so-called "jihadi brides".
The girls, who all attended Bethnal Green Academy in East London, are believed to be staying in a house in the IS militants' stronghold Raqqa.
The teenagers are thought to have stolen family jewellery to fund their trip, according to police.
