Cops arrest man and find 44 diamonds hidden up his bum
Eusebio Padilla, 23, told police in New Mexico he had planned to swap the stones for drugs
A BIKER was found to be hiding 44 diamonds up his bottom when he was pulled over by cops last Sunday.
Eusebio Padilla, 23, was originally stopped by police officers in Albuquerque, New Mexico because his motorbike didn't have a licence plate.
Officers seized the bag and found 44 gleaming diamonds inside.
The criminal complaint filed about the bizarre incident read: "Based on the uncommon behaviour of concealing diamonds in packaging commonly used to store narcotics, and concealing it in his butt cavity, and the attempt to get rid of the item, it was apparent to me that Padilla must have known the baggy of diamonds was stolen."
Padilla also allegedly told cops that he had got hold of the diamonds from a relative who "usually has stolen items".
And he even told the officers he was hoping to trade the precious stones for drugs.
News of Padilla's secret stash comes after the world's largest square diamond was cut from a tennis ball-sized gem.
The 302.27 carat stone is the "largest, highest clarity, highest colour diamond ever graded".
The Graff Lesedi La Rona is now up for sale — but it's so expensive that the British jeweller who owns it won't publicly put a price on it.
