"Police say they have recovered a Faberge egg pendant from a man accused of swallowing the item in a jewellery story. New Zealand police have spent six days monitoring every bowel movement of the suspect, a spokesperson said, and the NZ$33,000 ($19,000) James Bond Octopussy pendant was recovered from his gastrointestinal tract on Thursday night by natural means, without requiring medical intervention."
"The store's website says the egg, one of only 50 made, is crafted from gold, painted with green enamel and encrusted with 183 diamonds and two sapphires. The pendant is 8.4cm (3.3in) tall and is mounted on a stand. The egg opens to reveal an 18ct yellow gold octopus nestled inside, adorned with white diamond suckers and black diamond eyes, an item description said. The octopus surprise pays homage to the eponymous antagonist at the centre of the Octopussy"
Police arrested a 32-year-old man inside Partridge Jewelers in Auckland after he allegedly swallowed a limited-edition Faberge egg pendant inspired by the 1983 James Bond film Octopussy on 28 November. Officers monitored his bowel movements around the clock for six days while he remained in custody and recovered the NZ$33,000 pendant from his gastrointestinal tract on Thursday night by natural means without medical intervention. A police photo showed the pendant still attached to a long gold chain with an intact price tag. The necklace and the man remain in custody; the suspect is due in Auckland District Court on 8 December.
