The Pueblo Chieftain reported that the boy is one of three accused of breaking into the Fair's VIP building early last Thursday. The trio managed to lock themselves in the building and ultimately had to break out. When they did, they reportedly made off with televisions, a lap top and a cash register that proved to be empty.

KRDO-TV aired surveillance video of the suspect who was dressed as Batman. After the boy saw the video as it aired, he surrendered.  Authorities plan to seek charges including burglary and criminal mischief.

The boy wasn't identified because of his age. Police were still seeking the other two suspects.

Bat cave, anyone?
