A woman has been caught on camera nabbing a diamond ring at a jewellers in an unusual way.
The woman, named by police as M.A., was filmed by CCTV swallowing a ring at a jewellery shop in Instanbul, Turkey.
The woman allegedly tried to pocket the ring before swallowing it but a store worker noticed it was missing.
She then appeared to grab a drink from her handbag and washed it back.
With the ring still amiss, the eagle-eyed store worker checked the camera footage then phoned authorities while the woman was still in the shop.
She was taken to hospital, where an x-ray showed the five-stone ring.
In October, Irish tourist Ian Campbell, 54, was arrested after he allegedly swallowed a $50,000 diamond ring in a shop in the south-western Turkish resort of Marmaris, the Daily Mail reported.
