Thief Swallows 35 Grams Gold With Ice-Cream In Karnataka To Hide It From Cops

Thieves often employ several unusual measures to hide their crimes from the police. But this thief from Karnataka went a notch higher. To hide his theft from the cops, he straightaway swallowed 35 grams of gold ornaments he had stolen from jewellery shops. The man, identified as Shibu, who was arrested in connection with a jewellery shop theft, was found to have jewels in his intestine during an X-ray scan, after facing severe abdominal pain. He finally confessed that he had swallowed the ornaments with ice cream to hide them from the police. We had earlier heard about gold diggers, now we’ve stumbled upon a gold eater too!

It Was The Modus Operandi Of The Thief

According to a New Indian Express Report, MR Harish, PSI, Sullian police station, said, “It was the modus operandi of this habitual offender. He used to keep a part of a stolen booty in his stomach to make it safe and to avoid recovery if caught. Normally, police check pockets and house when caught. We won’t check stomach.” Reportedly, Shibu used to repeat the swallowing process whenever he was on the verge of getting caught, though with fresh packaging. This is perhaps one of the most bizarre occurrences of the year we have come across.
