WELLINGTON, Dec 5 — New Zealand police have recovered a diamond-encrusted green Faberge egg after keeping a six-day watch over the thief accused of swallowing it.
The 32-year-old allegedly gulped down the egg late last week from a store in the country’s largest city, Auckland, but was arrested before he could flee.
“Police can confirm the pendant was recovered,” they said in a statement Friday.
“It is now in police custody.”
Police had assigned an officer to watch over the man while waiting for nature to deliver the trinket — valued at around US$20,000 (RM82,300).
The special edition locket was inspired by the James Bond film Octopussy, which revolves around a plot to steal a rare Faberge egg.
“The exterior of the egg closely follows the design of the Faberge egg featured in the film Octopussy, with a beautiful 18k gold lattice framework which is delicately set with blue sapphires and white diamonds in a floral-like design,” reads an online description.
A small golden octopus is nestled inside.
