South African police have arrested a man who they say swallowed 220 polished diamonds in an attempt to smuggle¹ them out of the country.

南非警方逮捕了一名男子，该男子吞下了220颗打磨过的钻石以走私出境。

The man was arrested as he waited to board a plane at Johannesburg airport.

Officials said a scan of his body revealed the diamonds he had ingested, worth $2.3m (£1.4m; 1.8m euros), inside.

The man was reportedly of Lebanese origin and was travelling to Dubai.

"We nabbed（逮捕，抓住） him just before he went through the security checkpoint," Paul Ramaloko, spokesman of the South Africa elite² police unit the Hawks³ said, according to Agence France Presse.

Authorities believe the man belongs to a smuggling⁴ ring. Another man was arrested in March also attempting to smuggle diamonds out the country in a similar way.

South Africa is among the world's top producers of diamonds.
