Police investigate after electric toothbrushes stolen from Vernon drug store

VERNON – Police are investigating an unusual theft involving high-end, oral hygiene products. 

Police say around 8:30 a.m. on Nov. 8, someone broke a window at Shoppers Drug Mart on 27 Street and entered the store. Expensive electric toothbrushes were the only items taken during the break-in, Const. Jocelyn Noseworthy says.

The exact dollar value of the stolen toothbrushes is unknown. So is what happened to them, although Noseworthy guesses they were probably sold on the street.
