Gastrointestinal issues may
be looming for a Brisbane jewel
thief, who swallowed two large
diamond engagement rings earlier
this week.
According to the Courier Mail,
the man posed as a customer to
look at the jewellery worth more
than $50,000, before absconding
with them.
He was chased by the store
manager through a crowded
shopping centre, eventually being
cornered in a nearby pharmacy
- at which stage he wolfed down
the rings, one of which was a one
carat diamond solitaire and the
other a 1.53 carat yellow diamond
surrounded by 28 smaller gems.
“I think the second one would
have been pretty difficult to
swallow,” said the store manager.
The man has been charged
with theft and fraud, with the
magistrate refusing bail until the
precious items work their way
through his system.
