New Zealand Man's Bizarre Plan: Swallowing $19,000 Fabergé Egg Pendant Inspired by Bond Film
A bizarre incident has unfolded in Auckland, New Zealand, where a 32-year-old man allegedly tried to swallow a limited-edition Fabergé egg pendant inspired by the 1983 James Bond film Octopussy. The ornate pendant, valued at $19,000, was on display at Partridge Jewelers when the suspect approached the store and made his move.
The man's plan may seem like a scene from a spy movie, but in reality, it could have had dire consequences. Witnesses claim the man swallowed the pendant, sparking an investigation by police. However, with no visible signs of damage or distress, officials are now waiting for nature to take its course.
Inspector Grae Anderson stated that the suspect is being closely monitored, and despite undergoing a medical assessment, the pendant has not been recovered yet. The man's arrest on November 28 sparked a mix of confusion and amusement among witnesses, with some speculating about his motives.
The Fabergé egg pendant, crafted from gold and encrusted with precious stones, is one of only 50 produced worldwide. It's no wonder that the suspect was drawn to this rare and valuable item, especially considering its connection to a classic Bond film.
As the case unfolds, police will continue to monitor the suspect, while also investigating the circumstances surrounding his alleged actions. The man's next court appearance is scheduled for December 8, leaving everyone to wonder what exactly prompted this unusual behavior.
