Detectives are continuing to question one of three men arrested over a suspected Islamist-related terror plot in the UK. 

Two 19-year-olds and a 20-year-old, were held following raids by the Met's Counter Terrorism Command in west and south-east London on 8 September.

One 19-year old and the 20-year-old have been released on bail and the other man remains in custody.

The centenarian was pushed to the ground and her handbag, containing between £250 and £300, was stolen in broad daylight after she confronted a man who claimed he was there to do electrical work, police said.

Her grandson, who was at her home, chased the attacker as he fled following the robbery in Sherboro Road in Tottenham, north London, at about 17:00 on 23 August, but he managed to escape.

Detective Chief Inspector Luke Marks said: "This was a despicable attack on a very elderly lady who lived independently and is now fearful to return home. "

At 100 years old she had the sense and foresight to dismiss the suspect when he tried to con her into unnecessary electrical work but he then decided to mug her instead.

"She is naturally extremely distressed and shaken by what happened and we are appealing for help to catch his man before he targets someone else."

Jason Dockrill is currently serving a life sentence with a minimum of 25 years for the "sadistic" rape and murder of 23-year-old Suvi Aronen near Wanstead Common, east London, in March 2003. 

Earlier this year, the 46-year-old unemployed fitter formerly of Stratford, who has a personality disorder, pleaded guilty at the Old Bailey to rape and two counts of indecent assault on a stranger in the City of London in November 2001. 

Prosecutor Anita Arora said the victim, in her 30s, had been approached by Dockrill as she made a phone call outside a club near the Tower Bridge where she had been enjoying a night out with friends.
