Investigators said multiple vehicles were stolen from the parking garage. Surveillance footage showed the suspect low-crawling into a valet key room in the parking garage, removing several key fobs and later fleeing with four luxury cars.
Detectives were able to identify Yearty through their investigation. The suspect later surrendered himself at Miami Beach police headquarters, according to the department.
What they’re saying:
“The increase in high-end vehicle thefts is a concerning trend nationwide, and Miami Beach is not immune,” Miamia Beach Police Chief Wayne Jones said. “Let this, and other successful apprehensions, be a clear message: if you come to Miami Beach to victimize our residents and visitors, you will be held accountable.”

Florida No Kings protests planned for Stuart, Fort Pierce
There are two No Kings protests planned for the Treasure Coast; one in Stuart and one in Fort Pierce.
No Kings Day protests are scheduled for March 28, with over a thousand protests planned across the United States.
Organizers say the No Kings events will challenge President Donald Trump as he escalates “his attempts to control us.” Dozens of protests are planned across Florida, including two on the Treasure Coast.
Here’s what to know about the protests.
What is a No Kings protest?
No Kings is a nationwide protest organized in response to President Donald Trump and his administration.
“It is on us, the people, to show that we will fight to protect one another and our country,” according to the nokings.org website. “If he believes we will roll over and allow him to take our freedoms, he is mistaken.”
One core principle of No Kings is a commitment to nonviolent action. The organization’s website states participants should seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with dissenters and act lawfully.
