Detectives have recovered four diamond earrings from a suspected thief two weeks after he swallowed the jewellery worth nearly \u00a3600,000 during his arrest, US police have said.<\/p>\n

The man, who was detained in Florida<\/strong><\/a>, 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Officers obtained the licence plate of the suspect’s car through shopping centre security footage and tracked the vehicle.<\/p>\n

He was pulled over for driving without rear lights in Washington County, almost 340 miles away, a police report said.<\/p>\n

In the police car, an officer heard the suspect say: “I should have thrown them out the window,” and at the Washington County jail he asked staff: “Am I going to be charged with what is in my stomach?” according to the arrest report.<\/p>\n

While some earrings were quickly recovered, the suspect was then transferred to hospital where detectives monitored him as they waited to collect the remaining evidence.<\/p>\n

The four stolen earrings, valued at $770,000 (\u00a3596,000), matched the serial numbers from the jewellery taken from the Tiffany store last month, detectives said.<\/p>\n
