MEMPHIS, Tenn. – A former FedEx employee is accused of stealing more than $12,000 in jewelry from a safe at the Memphis hub and then selling it to a jewelry store.
Hannah Davis, 26, was booked into the Shelby County Jail Thursday on charges of theft of $10 to $60 in property after a warrant was issued for her arrest.
According to police, on April 26, Davis sold several gold Figaro necklaces and a unique Quantum Jewelers diamond pendant to Irwin Jewelers in Memphis.
After the sale, an Irwin employee contacted Quantum and was told the token pendant and other jewelry belonged to Quantum and had to be delivered to them via FedEx.

Friday, FedEx said Davis was no longer employed by the company and released the following statement:
The safety and security of our customers’ shipments is a top priority, and we are cooperating fully with law enforcement in their investigation. Some questions about this matter should be addressed to them.
