A 24-year-old man and a 23-year-old woman have been arrested in Berkshire on suspicion of preparing for acts of terrorism in the UK.
West Midlands Police said the man had been detained in Reading and the woman in Wokingham by counter-terrorism officers at about 19:30 BST.
The pair, believed to be friends, were taken to a police station in the West Midlands for questioning.
The force said the arrests had been intelligence-led.
The suspects did not pose any imminent threat, a spokesperson added.
Supt Robin Rickard from Thames Valley Police said the arrests "were part of an ongoing investigation by West Midlands Counter Terrorism Unit and were pre-planned".
"Officers from Reading and Wokingham are providing support and there are searches taking place at the suspects' home addresses," he said.
