Three British teenagers suspected of attempting to join Islamic State have been released on bail.
A man aged 19 and two 17-year-old boys, all from northwest London, were arrested on Saturday night on suspicion of preparing terrorist acts after returning to the UK, police said.
They were apprehended at Sabiha Gokcen airport in the Turkish city of Istanbul.
It is believed they travelled from England to Spain before flying on to the country.
A Met police spokesman said: "Officers alerted the Turkish authorities who were able to intercept all three males, preventing travel to Syria.
"On Saturday, March 14 the three males returned to the UK and at approximately 11.10pm were arrested on suspicion of preparation of terrorist acts contrary to section five of the Terrorism Act 2006.
"They have been bailed to return to a central London police station pending further enquiries."
The trio have not been named, but Sky sources in Turkey say the initials of the men are GH, MNG, and MA.
The Met 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. Inquiries revealed they had gone with a third male, aged 19.
Reports suggested their families told police they were missing and believed to be travelling to Syria.
Scotland Yard declined to say exactly how long in total they had been away from home.
The developments point to a new level of 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 to Istanbul on 17 February and are feared to have continued to Syria to become so-called "jihadi brides".
