MIAMI – Two men accused of being part of a serial car theft ring that began in January are facing additional charges for allegedly stealing about a dozen luxury cars in Miami’s Brickell neighborhood and Miami Beach.
Gregory Yearty and Stevie Gaskin Jr. are accused of targeting luxury cars at luxury buildings, hotels and restaurants, according to police reports.
The first incident is said to have happened at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in January.
Authorities say Gaskin stole a Bentley and an Aston Martin on Jan. 8 after the owners left their keys in a valet parking area.
Surveillance camera footage reportedly shows Gaskin taking the keys and driving away with another man.
Yearty is accused of stealing four luxury cars from the Four Seasons Hotel and Residences in Brickell on June 25.
Police said Ierty was seen on surveillance footage entering the valet area at about 1:09 a.m., grabbing several keys and driving away in a Rolls-Royce and a Lamborghini. Later that morning, around 4 a.m., Ierty and others are said to have returned in a second Lamborghini and a Bentley.
Both men were arrested in September on suspicion of trying to steal a Rolls Royce from an upscale South Beach restaurant.
Police have not said how many more thefts the pair may be involved in.
Yearty and Gaskin are currently in custody.
