Detectives have recovered four diamond earrings from a suspected thief two weeks after he swallowed the jewellery worth nearly £600,000 during his arrest, US police have said.

The man, who was detained in Florida, had told staff at a Tiffany & Co store he was interested in buying earrings and a diamond ring on behalf of an Orlando Magic basketball player in February.

He was escorted to a VIP room where he could view the jewellery but a short time later, he jumped out of his chair, grabbed the jewellery and forced his way out the door, Orlando Police Department said.

Officers obtained the licence plate of the suspect's car through shopping centre security footage and tracked the vehicle.

He was pulled over for driving without rear lights in Washington County, almost 340 miles away, a police report said.

Well any body who knows basic human biology knows how they found the earrings.

Have fun it's the weekend.

Yo, dumbass! Doc said you need to eat more carrots! What a dumbass.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

I'm glad they finally got to the bottom of this case.

[Texas Eagle]

Ick. Is the store going to sell them as new or slightly used? 🤔

It's a tough job, but somebody's gotta do it.

This one is a criminal mastermind!

Its cold outside and the wind is blowing.
Chilled to the bone.

[thecodont]

I’m concerned.

Earrings come in pairs. They only recovered three?

There’s that pointy bit at the end. Still stuck on something somewhere?

[Delta 21]

It does look like they need to rinse them a few for times to regain the clarity and brilliance they had when they were new.

[Libloather]

All good things take time. And maybe some Ex-lax.

[Huskrrrr]

Or recycled.

[Jim Robinson]

So you really can get Tiffany Cufflinks this way. I thought that drill sergeant was just kidding.

[Greg123456]

That or they gave him syrup of ipecac and he puked them out

[Macoozie]

Would have been a much better story if they had gutted the guy.

Nah. If they were indeed for an NBA player, they’re already cleaner than they ever will be again.

[I-ambush]

Will have to be sold as “slightly used.”
