14, Jun 2026A Florida man is being hailed a hero after he helped stop a burglary suspect while wearing Batman pajamas, police said.
Kyle Myvett said he’d gone to bed at his home in Cape Coral when security cameras alerted him that someone was breaking into his vehicle early Wednesday, Cape Coral Police said.

He then confronted the suspect in his neighbor’s garage and detained him until officers arrived.
The suspect, 20-year-old Jystin Schimpl, had stolen multiple items including cash, a woman’s wristlet, two Ray-Ban sunglasses worth $300 each, and over $500 in gift cards, police said.
Schimpl was booked into jail on charges including burglary and petty theft.
