Diamond thief swallows fake as buddy steals $13K gem

Sri Lankan police now say a suspected gem thief actually swallowed a fake diamond last week while his partner escaped with a 1.5 carat rock valued at $13,600. The decoy, identified alternately as 32-year-old Chou Wan or Chow Cheng, was arrested Wednesday after an exhibitor at a major jewelry show in Colombo saw him swallow what he thought was a real diamond.
