CCTV Captures Man Swallowing £35,000 Diamond Engagement Ring in Shop Heist

A jewellery store in London’s Hatton Garden released CCTV showing a man swallowing a £35,000 princess-cut diamond engagement ring in an apparent theft attempt. The customer had spent about two hours viewing three rings before one suddenly went missing. Staff reviewed the footage and saw him place the ring in his mouth and swallow it. When confronted, he denied any wrongdoing and asked employees to search his pockets. Repeated video reviews revealed the moment he swallowed the piece. The man later forced himself to vomit and returned the ring before security escorted him out. The family-run store shared the footage online to alert other jewellers to such unusual theft methods.
