A suspected Scottish jewel thief who swallowed his haul to avoid being arrested has won his four-day fight against constipation, allowing police to recover the stolen loot, police sources said Thursday. "A little bit of laxative was required, but in the fullness of time, nature has taken its course and we have recovered some jewelry," the source said. "He managed to hold out for a good three to four days."
