Thief's stomach held hoard of the rings http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_756494.html?menu=news.quirkies
Police forced a Dutch thief to vomit so they could recover two stolen gold rings he had swallowed.
The 27-year-old has been charged with robbing them from a shop in Zwolle. The shopkeeper there was threatened with an axe.
Police arrested him but could find no trace of the rings so they had him x-rayed, reports Algemeen Dagblad.
A doctor told police officers he could clearly see the rings in his stomach and gave him a solution to make him vomit.
