“Lilawattie” pays $100,000 as larceny charge dismissed

…co-accused still at large

Orin Fraser, also known as “Lilawattie”, on Friday had a larceny charge dismissed after compensating the virtual complainant $100,000, even as the court raised concerns about his co-accused, who remains at large.
Fraser, of Princes and William Streets, Georgetown, appeared before Senior Magistrate Fabayo Azore at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts, where he had been charged with the offence of larceny involving a total of $201,000.
Particulars of the charge alleged that between March 20 and March 21, 2025, at Saffon Street and Independence Boulevard, Georgetown, Fraser, 22, together with another man identified only as “Abraham”, in court, stole the cash from Alex Layne.
When the matter was called, the prosecutor informed the court that the accused and the virtual complainant had reached an amicable settlement. Fraser then paid $100,000 in open court, and the complainant informed the court that he no longer wants to proceed with the matter.

In light of the settlement and the complainant’s position, the charge against Fraser was formally dismissed.
However, attention then turned to the second accused, “Abraham”, who was not present in court. The prosecution indicated that despite efforts, his whereabouts remain unknown. The Magistrate expressed concern over his absence and ordered that steps be taken to locate him and have him brought before the court to answer to the charge.
Fraser, meanwhile, continues to face multiple other criminal matters before the courts.
In one such matter, he was in July 2025 granted $80,000 bail after being charged with robbery involving violence. It is alleged that on April 10, 2025, at King Street, Georgetown, he robbed Melvin Marks of a cell phone valued at $78,000, a purse worth $5000, and $15,000 in cash, totalling $98,000. The prosecution further alleged that personal violence was used during the commission of that offence. Fraser was not required to plead, as the charge is indictable.
Additionally, in September 2025, Fraser appeared before the court on separate allegations, including the theft of a motor car valued at $3 million, along with $45,000 in cash and a cell phone. In that matter, he pleaded not guilty, maintaining that the vehicle had since been returned and that partial restitution had been made.
During that same period, Fraser also admitted guilt to a separate offence of malicious damage to property committed at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation. The court heard that he damaged a computer monitor valued at $45,000. He was fined $50,000 for that offence, with an alternative sentence of two months’ imprisonment.
