Ontario Provincial Police in Napanee are searching for a man they accuse of shoplifting more than $1,600 worth of toothbrushes on Monday morning.

The OPP said in a news release that at about 11:30 a.m., their officers responded to a report of a theft from Shoppers Drug Mart on Alkenbrack Street in Napanee.
