Westport police have arrested a man who is suspected of stealing an Aston Martin in the brazen carjacking in September and he is the fourth person to be arrested in the case.
The carjacking happened on Bayberry Lane in Westport around 3:50 p.m. on Sept. 17 and videos that police released showed two masked carjackers enter a garage, pull the driver from the luxury vehicle and steal the car.
On Wednesday, police arrested 20-year-old Vincys Baez, of Waterbury, at Stamford Superior Court.
Police said he was one of the people who was seen in the surveillance video.
While investigating the carjacking, police found the Aston Martin at a Berlin home, where they also recovered a 2021 BMW 530i that was stolen from Westport on Sept. 16 and used in the carjacking, a BMW stolen from Ridgefield and a Porsche stolen from Rhode Island.
The Bridgeport Auto Theft Task Force previously arrested 39-year-old Derrick McGill, who lives at the Berlin home where the stolen cars were found, but he does not currently have charges pending in Westport, police said.
