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.

Two weeks? Dude needs more fiber in his diet.

And I notice only three earrings in the photo. Are they going to need the scope for the fourth? Or is that the police 25% commission for recovery of stolen goods?
