six people on suspicion of terrorism after Turkish authorities stopped a group crossing the Syrian border, police said.

Four people aged between 22 and 47 were arrested at Manchester airport in north west England early Wednesday, following on from the arrest on Tuesday of a 21-year-old man at Birmingham airport in central England and a 31-year-old man in Rochdale, near Manchester.

All six remain in police custody for questioning, according to a statement from Greater Manchester Police.

The investigation was launched after nine people -- five adults and four children -- were stopped by Turkish authorities trying to cross into Syria last month.

deported the nine Britons, including the son of a local councillor from Rochdale, on Tuesday, two weeks after arresting them for attempting to cross into Syria to join jihadists, Turkey's official news agency Anatolia said.

The four children have been placed in the care of a guardian.

on their return to England on Wednesday, police said.

The four were part of a group of nine people, all members of the same family, who were detained in Turkey at the beginning of the month.

One of the nine, a 21-year-old man named in the media as Waheed Ahmed, the son of a British local politician, was incarcerated

when he returned to Britannia on Tuesday.

They were arrested on suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism, police said.
