The man at the centre of the theft of over 160 classic cars is still in jail.

Robert Bradshaw is still waiting for a bail hearing on multiple charges after a Watford car dealer reported missing vehicles.

In 2023, Larry Grogan told Lambton OPP about 160 classic cars which he’d paid for had never arrived. Grogan told police Bradshaw, he said, had been finding the vehicles for Grogan’s new classic car business.

Months later the OPP raided a storage shed near Belleville and found 16 of the cars. They were returned to Grogan.

Police allege Bradshaw, Gary LeBlanc, Michael McCrory and Charlotte Johnston, 53, were forging ownerships to resell the cars. All face charges of theft, fraud, using forged documents and conspiracy in a Belleville court.

Johnston has plead guilty to one count of uttering a forged document and has been sentenced to nine months of house arrest.

Johnston, LeBlanc, McCrory, Bradshaw as well as his uncle, Jack, 77, and Roger Thompson return to court for a pretrial Nov. 24 in front of a Superior Court judge.

Bradshaw, whose bail was revoked in September after his uncle was arrested, remains in jail until a planned bail hearing Nov. 6.
