Arrest: Christopher Scheller (Picture: Police)

Even the most experienced police staff on one force were left stunned by this unusual case of stolen jewellery.

A drink-drive investigation took a strange turn when an implausible amount of stolen were goods were discovered in a teenager’s rectum.

A total of four bracelets, four necklaces, 11 women’s rings, a socket for a smoking wrench and a bag of weed were found to be hidden inside Christopher Scheller.

The 18-year-old was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries after crashing his car in Heidelberg, Pennsylvania, in December, according to a police report.


‘The officer found evidence that the driver may be intoxicated and responded to York Hospital to meet with Scheller,’ it added.



‘When medical staff performed a medical X-ray of Scheller, they found an abnormality in his rectum. Scheller at first did not want the object removed- but eventually consented.

‘After the officer investigated this strange occurrence, it was determined that the items were stolen from a residence in Heidelberg.’

The teen was arrested on a host of charges including theft, receiving stolen property and driving under the influence.
