After six days of inspecting the suspect’s bowel movements, New Zealand police recovered a stolen Faberge pendant that he had swallowed after being caught.
New Zealand police arrested a man suspected of stealing — and swallowing — a James Bond-inspired Faberge pendant worth some $19,000 (€16,300).
After six days of supervising the the 32-year-old suspect’s bowl movements, police said the limited-edition Faberge egg had been recovered late on Thursday.
Police said the piece of jewelry came out of the thief’s body naturally, without any medical intervention.
They also provided a photo of the recovered pendant and the attached price tag, which stayed intact despite going through the thief’s digestion system.
Inspector Grace Anderson said police would continue monitoring the man.
“Given this man is in Police custody, we have a duty of care to continue monitoring him given the circumstances of what has occurred,” she said.
