A man and a woman have been arrested on suspicion of Syria-related terrorism offences.
West Midlands Police says a 32-year-old man and a 31-year-old woman were arrested in Dover yesterday and are now being questioned at a police station in the West Midlands.
The man was arrested on suspicion of preparing to commit terrorism offences and funding/supporting terrorism.
The woman was arrested on suspicion of preparing to commit terrorism offences.
The arrests were carried out by West Midlands Counter Terrorism Unit detectives.
