A diamond-studded locket swallowed by a New Zealand man who tried to steal it has been "recovered", police say.
The Fabergé egg locket, valued at NZ$33,585 ($19,300; £14,600), was recovered in a "natural" manner. "Medical intervention [was] not required," they told the BBC.
This comes about a week after police arrested the 32-year-old man at Patridge Jewellers in central Auckland, minutes after he allegedly ate the locket.
The ingested loot is set with 60 white diamonds and 15 blue sapphires, according to the jeweller's website, and opens to reveal an 18-carat gold miniature octopus.
The man has been charged with theft.
