Steals the old woman's gold chain and swallows it when she's intercepted by the police

Uthe woman was arrested on Thursday night after stealing a chain and a golden crucifix that an elderly woman wore around her neck in Zaragoza, in the autonomous Spanish community of Aragon. In an attempt to escape the authorities, the suspect swallowed the jewel.

The crime occurred at 8 p.m. (local time), when a group of young women met two elderly women who walked in the same area. After pushing the victims, which caused one of them to fall to the ground, one of the members of the group grabbed her by the neck with one hand while trying to rip off her gold chain with the other.

The woman resisted, which made jewelry go away. Still, the aggressor seized part of the chain and a crucifix in gold, according to detailed this Sunday the Aragão Police, quoted by Telecinco.

Despite fleeing, the suspicion was intercepted in the immediate vicinity, having adopted an aggressive attitude and resistance toward the authorities. At one point, one of the agents noticed that the young woman had a golden glow inside her mouth. Fearing she was caught, the attacker swallowed the chain.

The agents transported her to the Miguel Servet University Hospital, where she underwent medical examinations and a radiograph, which confirmed the presence of a foreign and metallic body in her digestive tract, although she was out of danger. The health professionals said they expected the object to be expelled naturally, but they could not specify when it would happen.

The young woman, who has a criminal record for crimes of the same nature, was released, with the obligation to appear before the judicial authorities whenever asked.
