A man is accused of swallowing a diamond engagement ring worth about £35,000 in an alleged attempt to steal it, according to multiple UK outlets. The incident is described as occurring after the suspect spends time inside a jewellery shop in London, including an account that he browses jewellery for around two hours. The reports say the ring is taken and then swallowed, with the man later forced to regurgitate it.
One outlet identifies the accused as Junaid Hassan, 28, and says he runs the family business and that he did not notice the ring being taken. It adds that CCTV footage is reviewed to determine what happened. The ring is described as a princess-cut diamond engagement ring.
The coverage focuses on the alleged conduct and the role of CCTV in establishing the timeline. None of the sources provide confirmed details on charges, outcomes, or legal proceedings, and the accounts attribute the actions to allegations rather than convictions.
