Man stole valet keys, then $2 million in fancy cars from Miami Beach hotel, police say
A Fort Lauderdale man was caught on camera crawling into a hotel valet room to steal a handful of high-end cars worth nearly $2 million, according to Miami Beach police. Gregory Sean Yearty Jr., 24, was arrested on Monday after investigators say he stole four luxury vehicles—including a Lamborghini Urus and a Rolls-Royce Ghost—from the parking garage of the Setai Hotel on 2001 Collins Avenue. Surveillance video showed a man police identified as Yearty crawling on the ground to sneak into the valet key room around 2 a.m. on July 6, 2024. Once inside, he stood up, grabbed several key fobs, and crawled back out, apparently trying to avoid being noticed on camera. Police say Yearty then drove off with two stolen cars, accompanied by two unidentified men. He would return just before 6 a.m. to take two more cars. A rented black Cadillac Escalade was seen on surveillance video trailing and returning with the men during the thefts. The investigation began after multiple reports of stolen vehicles from hotel guests. Detectives used video footage, rental car records, and cell phone tracking data to identify Yearty. He later turned himself in at Miami Beach Police Headquarters. Yearty faces four counts of grand theft and burglary of an occupied structure. He is jailed at Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center as of Wednesday morning. It wasn't immediatly clear if he had retained an attorney. 'If you come to Miami Beach to victimize our community, you will be held accountable,' said Police Chief Wayne Jones in a statement.
