SAN ANTONIO – A woman is accused of stealing $60,000 worth of jewelry from her employer and may have pawned it for profit, San Antonio police said.

Ariel Cannon, 34, worked as an employee at the James Avery Jewelry store.

An arrest affidavit said the thefts went on for two years.

Investigators said her last pawn was in December, three days before she was caught on the store’s camera putting jewelry into her pocket and then pretending to find it after other employees went looking for it.
