Ring 'thief' bailed after colonoscopy

A JUDGE has granted an accused jewel thief bail after he laid out crucial evidence for police.

David Watts had a colonoscopy on Monday morning to retrieve a diamond ring he allegedly swallowed after stealing it from a jewellery store in southwest Brisbane two weeks ago.

Watts allegedly stole and ate another ring, but police lost it after throwing out a waste bag they forgot to search while he was in custody.

Legal Aid Solicitor Nicholas Hanly applied for bail on behalf of Watts in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on Monday afternoon.

Magistrate Paul Kluck asked why the application had been made so late in the day.

Mr Hanly told him that the rings had only been "extracted" on Monday morning, which drew smirks and giggles from prosecutors, court officers, the public gallery and a prisoner who was waiting in the dock for his matter to be heard.

"I don't want to hear anything about rings being extracted," the magistrate shouted.

Prosecutors did not oppose the application and Magistrate Kluck granted bail without conditions.

Watts is due to reappear in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on December 13.
