WESTPORT — A third person has been arrested in the violent Sept. 17 carjacking on Bayberry Lane.

Westport police said Wednesday that Vincys Baez, 20, of Waterbury was arrested at Stamford Superior Court and charged with first-degree burglary, robbery by carjacking, third-degree assault, reckless endangerment, first-degree larceny, first-degree conspiracy to commit larceny, first-degree robbery and first-degree conspiracy to commit robbery.

He was held on $500,000 bond and is to be arraigned later today, police Lt. Eric Woods said.

The incident, in which an Aston Martin sports car was stolen after the owner drove it into his garage, shocked the community.

Two others already have been charged in the case.

On Oct. 6, Garrett Gibbs, 22, of Waterbury, was taken into custody by Westport police detectives, assisted by Waterbury police, and charged with home invasion, first-degree robbery, first-degree burglary, robbery by carjacking, third-degree assault, first-degree larceny and conspiracy to commit first-degree larceny.

Two days after the incident, police took a 16-year-old Waterbury resident into custody and charged him with similar crimes in connection with the carjacking.

That suspect, Giovanni Lopez, was later publicly named by officials after they said he will be tried as an adult in the case. Lopez is scheduled for another appearance Oct. 10 at State Superior Court in Stamford.

The expensive sports car was forcibly stolen about 4 p.m. Sept. 17 by two masked assailants from the Bayberry Lane homeowner. Police said the thieves tailed the man to his home driving a BMW stolen earlier in town.

The carjacking was recorded by home security cameras in footage released by police. The videos show the men entering the Bayberry Lane garage and surrounding the Aston Martin, then dragging the man from the car as he calls for someone in the home to contact police. The intruders appear to repeatedly strike the man as he tries to fend them off.

Someone off camera screams that police have been contacted as the thieves rev the Aston Marton and speed from the scene, accompanied by the BMW. Both vehicles were later seen traveling north on Route 8.

The Aston Martin was tracked to a residence in the upstate town of Berlin, where police said three other stolen vehicles were found when officers from the Bridgeport Auto Theft Task Force, of which Westport is a member, joined by Berlin police, executed a search warrant.

Also found at that property — which police described as a “chop shop” — was the BMW stolen in Westport and used by the carjackers, as well as another BMW swiped in Ridgefield and a Porsche stolen from Rhode Island.

Derrick McGill, 39, a resident of the Berlin home, was placed under arrest by the task force on multiple charges, but has not been charged by Westport police.
