SPARTANBURG, S.C. — Holy crime scene, Batman!
A South Carolina man is accused of robbing a church while wearing a stolen Batman costume, authorities said.
Dalton Alexander Lazurick, 25, of Roebuck, was arrested Tuesday and charged with second-degree burglary and grand larceny, WPSA reported.
According to an incident report, authorities responded to Church at the Mill in Moore on Saturday. The church’s pastor told deputies that computers and office equipment were stolen from one of the administration buildings, WPSA reported. The pastor said he believed one of the building’s windows had been left unlocked, allowing Lazurick to allegedly enter the office, the television station reported.
The pastor estimated the equipment stolen was worth $750, WYFF reported.
Deputies watched surveillance, which showed a man walking into a church office late Thursday, where he found a Batman costume, the television station reported.
“He then put on the costume, and goes into other offices taking computer monitors and other items,” the incident report said.
Deputies said they were able to identify the burglar as Lazurick, WPSA reported.
The alleged thief’s new Batcave is the Spartanburg County Jail, where he remains on $10,000 bail, according to jail records.
