Six people facing charges in the case of 160 resold classic cars will go to trial in November 2026.

In 2023, Larry Grogan told Lambton OPP about 160 classic cars which he’d paid for had never arrived at his new Watford business, Grogan’s Classics. Grogan told police Bradshaw had been finding the vehicles for Grogan, delivering some, but not all of the vehicles. Months later the OPP raided a storage shed near Belleville and found 16 of the cars. They were returned to Grogan.

Police allege Robert Bradshaw, Gary LeBlanc, Michael McCrory and Charlotte Johnston were forging ownership papers to resell the cars. Later, police arrested Bradshaw’s uncle, Jack, 77, and his friend, Roger Thompson, as well.

All face charges of theft, fraud, using forged documents and conspiracy in a Belleville court.
The OPP then began seizing cars from collectors who had purchased the vehicles not realizing the ownerships had been changed.

A judge has set aside three weeks starting Nov. 17, 2026 to hear the complicated case.
Meantime, an Ontario Court justice is reviewing a civil case brought by the car collectors whose vehicles have been seized. It’s not clear when a verdict will be handed down in that case heard Nov. 10.
