A KITTY resident accused of breaking and entering a Footsteps store and stealing over $1.8M in items was remanded to prison on Tuesday when he appeared before Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry.The allegation against Orin Williams of 60 William Street, Kitty, is that between September 2, 2014 and January 15, 2015, he broke and entered the Footsteps Store and stole five water dispensers, one canister, two television sets along with other items valued $1.8M.

Williams accepted the charge as it was read to him at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court; however he told the court that he did not break into the said store and only came before the court to answer to the charge of larceny.
The magistrate after hearing his explanation recorded a not guilty plea.
Police prosecutor Michael Grant stated that the facts were as charged and told the court that Williams was convicted in 2012 for simple larceny.
Grant successfully objected to bail on the grounds of the nature, gravity and prevalence of the offence along with the value of the articles that were allegedly stolen.
The prosecutor’s objection was upheld and Williams will make his second court appearance on March 13.
