$ 769,500 earrings recovered after Florida Man swallows them

The Orlando Police has recovered two series of earrings worth $ 769,500 (£ 597,000) combined after an alleged thief swallowed them more than two weeks ago.

Jaythan Gilder, 32, swallowed the slopes of diamonds Tiffany & Co. Around the moment he was arrested on February 26, police said.

Gilder was monitored by detectives in an Orlando hospital for “more than a dozen days” before the earrings were expelled from their system, according to the Orlando Police Department.

Gilder faces theft charges with a mask and a great robbery in the first degree.

Tiffany has since cleaned the earrings.

The police claim that Gilder passed through an assistant to an NBA player so that he could show “very high -end jewels” in a VIP room in a Tiffany & Co. store in Orlando, Florida, on February 26.

Mr. Gilder allegedly distracted the employees of the store, then left the store with two earrings. The suspect apparently also dropped a diamond ring valued at $ 587,000 when he fled the store.

When the officers reached him later that day, they saw Mr. Gilder “swallowing several objects that are believed to be the stolen earrings,” said the police.

The officials transported Mr. Gilder to jail allegedly heard him say: “They should have thrown them out the window,” said CBS News, the US BBC partner.

In jail, Mr. Gilder supposedly asked the staff: “Will they accuse me of what is in my stomach?”

Later, the Police launched an radiography that seemed to show the abdomen of an individual with a strange object inside.

The Orlando Police Department said they took Gilder to a hospital in the area and monitored him for approximately two weeks until the earrings were recovered.

Detective Aaron Goss said the case “quickly became a marathon, not a sprint.”

On March 12, the Police said they recovered the fourth areset of Tiffany & Co.

When the earrings were brought back to the Tiffany, the teacher’s jeweler confirmed that the serial numbers in the jewels coincided with the stolen pieces, Goss said.

Gilder is currently in custody in Orange County prison.

Police allege that their criminal history shows a 2022 robbery in a Tiffany & Co store in Texas.

There are 48 orders separated by its arrest in Colorado.
