‘Lilawattie’ cleared of larceny charge following settlement

April 10 2026

Twenty-two-year-old Orin Fraser, also known as “Lilawattie”, of Lot 52 Princess and William Streets, Georgetown, was recently brought before Fabayo Azore at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.

He was charged with larceny in connection with the theft of $201,000.

It is alleged that between March 20 and March 21, 2026, at Saffon Street, Charlestown, and Independence Boulevard, Georgetown, Fraser, in the company of another man identified only as “Abraham” in court, stole the cash from Alex Layne.

However, when the matter was called, the court was informed by the prosecutor that the accused and the virtual complainant had reached a settlement.

Fraser subsequently paid $100,000 in court towards the sum, which contributed to the complainant’s decision to discontinue the matter.

As a result, Magistrate McGusty dismissed the charge against Fraser.

The court, however, raised concerns about the second accused, “Abraham”, whose whereabouts remain unknown.

The prosecutor indicated that efforts to locate him had so far been unsuccessful, prompting the magistrate to order that he be found and brought before the court.

Fraser is currently before the court on other criminal matters.

In July 2025, he was granted $80,000 bail after being charged with robbery involving violence.

The charge alleges that on April 10, 2025, at King Street, Georgetown, he robbed Melvin Marks of a cellphone valued at $78,000, a purse worth $5,000, and $15,000 in cash, totalling $98,000.

It is further alleged that he used personal violence during the commission of the robbery.

Additionally, in September 2025, Fraser appeared before the court on separate allegations, including the theft of a motorcar valued at $3 million, along with $45,000 in cash and a cellphone.

In that matter, he pleaded not guilty, stating that the vehicle had been returned and that partial restitution was made.

During that same period, he also pleaded guilty to damaging a computer monitor valued at $45,000 at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC).

He was fined $50,000 for that offence, with an alternative of two months’ imprisonment.
