Two men and three women charged with Syria-related terrorism offences are due to appear at a London court on Tuesday.

Police said they faced charges including preparing to travel to Syria to engage in terrorism and helping others to travel, BBC reported.

The five, all from Walsall town, are expected to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court.

Three of the group were arrested last week while the others were originally held in February.

Those charged are Alex Nash, 21, and his wife Yousma Jan, 20, of Bentley Road and Ayman Shaukat, 27, of Pargetter Street, who were arrested on June 9.

Lorna Moore, 34, and Kerry Thomason, 23, were detained in February before being released on bail.
