Eighteen-year-old Keon Webster of Waterbury, CT, was arrested on charges including evading responsibility (hit and run), second-degree burglary, larceny of a motor vehicle, and conspiracy to commit larceny of a motor vehicle. His bond was set at $75,000. The arrest stems from an incident on July 14, 2024, when Westport Police responded to a report of a stolen motor vehicle. An investigation, aided by surveillance cameras, revealed that around 3:50 AM, unknown individuals arrived in a gray BMW and stole a white 2019 Mercedes-Benz from an unlocked, open garage. Both vehicles then fled the scene. Through law enforcement collaboration and electronic surveillance, Keon Webster was identified as a suspect in the incident, leading to a warrant for his arrest.

On August 25, 2024, Webster was involved in another incident on the Merritt Parkway, where he was in a stolen vehicle that crashed, after which he fled the scene. He was apprehended and transported to Norwalk Hospital for injuries sustained in the crash. Webster was subsequently charged with the aforementioned crimes and released after posting bond. He is scheduled to appear in Stamford Superior Court on September 18, 2024.
