Police made an unconventional discovery of nearly $1 million worth of stolen diamond Tiffany & Co. inside of a man's stomach.

A suspected thief gulped down two pairs of diamond earrings during his arrest on the side of a Florida Panhandle highway last week, detectives say, leaving them with the unenviable task of waiting to “collect” the Tiffany & Co.

Jaythan Lawrence Gilder stole Tiffany & Co earrings worth $770K ( ₹6.7 crore) in Orlando. During his arrest on a Florida Panhandle highway, he swallowed the stolen jewellery. Authorities later conducted a body scan and are now waiting for the earrings to pass naturally as part of the investigation.

A man in Orlando is accused of swallowing nearly $1 million in stolen diamond Tiffany jewelry before he was arrested, an arrest affidavit says. Officers from the Orlando Police Department on Feb. 26 responded to the Tiffany & Co.

Wrong kind of carats. An amateur jewel thief swallowed Tiffany & Co. earrings worth $769,000 in a strong-arm heist gone wrong last week, according to Orlando police. Jaythan Lawrence Gilder, 32, pretended to be a representative for an Orlando Magic player to gain access to pricey jewelry at a Tiffany & Co.
