MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A former FedEx employee is accused of stealing more than $12,000 in jewelry from a package she was handling at the Memphis hub and then selling it to a local jewelry store.
Hannah Davis, 26, was booked in the Shelby County jail Thursday for theft of $10,000 to $60,000 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 trademark pendant and the other jewelry belonged to Quantum and were supposed to be delivered to them via FedEx.

Police said FedEx conducted an internal investigation and observed Davis on camera with a package for Quantum Jewelers at the time the package was scanned into the FedEx World Hub on Sprankle Avenue.
Quantum said the jewelry’s value was $12,317.28. Police have not said how much Davis allegedly made from selling it.
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 have fully cooperated with law enforcement in its investigation. Any further questions on this matter should be directed to them.
