Authorities said the theft happened when a black Cadillac Escalade trailed one of the cars that would later be reported stolen into the parking garage. Once inside the garage, two men got out of the Escalade and drove off with two vehicles.
Yearty "returned a few hours later, at approximately 5:48 a.m., and stole two additional vehicles," police said.
Though police said the suspect had accomplices, it does not appear that any other arrests have been made.

Yearty was arrested Monday and booked into jail after he surrendered to Miami Beach Police, officials said.
"The increase in high-end vehicle thefts is a concerning trend nationwide, and Miami Beach is not immune," Miami Beach Police Chief Wayne Jones said in a statement. "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. We will not tolerate those who think they can prey on our community without consequences."
