MAN has been charged with robbing a 100-year-old woman as she was making her way back from a prayer meeting.
Jawad Naser, 37, from Tottenham in north London, was charged on
Wednesday (Sep 14) and will appear in custody at Highbury magistrates
court today (Sept 15), Scotland Yard said.
Naser is alleged to have pushed frail centenarian Alexteen Roberts to
the floor and stolen her handbag with £300 inside on August 23 in
Westcott Close, just half a mile away from where he lives.
Roberts, who turned 101 last week, has said the ordeal left her feeling afraid.
Her granddaughter, Jacqueline McIntosh, said the family now had to
take shifts to be in the house with her as “being attacked like that
changes things”.
