SHANGHAI: Two men who tried to swap an expensive diamond for a fake one have ended up swapping their liberty for jail.

Police allege the two men, Li Yinlin, 35, and Wan Zhaorong, 45, stole a diamond worth 330,000 yuan ($48,000) by switching it for a fake one at First Asia Jewelry Store in the city's Yu Garden tourist area on Monday.

The salesman didn't notice the switch until an hour later.
