A mother and her four children believed to be travelling from London to Syria have been detained in Turkey, said the Metropolitan Police. | |
The family went missing from their home in Waltham Forest, from east London, last week and were thought to have left via London City Airport. | |
Turkish authorities told police officers in London the woman and her children were safe and well. | |
Met officers are liaising with the Turkish authorities. | |
Richard Walton at the Met's counter-terrorism command thanked the public and the media for helping to find the family. | |
He said: "We had very real concerns that she may have been planning to travel with her children to Syria and she has now been detained with the children in Turkey." |
