A Shinola worker is accused of stealing hundreds of watches from the store and selling them, according to court records.

Judith Walker was charged in federal court with wire fraud because she sent a text while negotiating the sale of a stolen watch.

Walker allegedly sent a text, writing "Tell your boy I have another pink one with the diamond regular $2800 his price 1100."

Her alleged thefts date back to 2015 and go through January of this year.

Federal prosecutors say she created a scheme to steal hundreds of watches and re-sell them.
