The big-money find is the result of a tip Ontario Provincial Police received late last year about stolen vehicles in Lambton County. Following a months-long, multi-department investigation, a search warrant was issued on May 14 for a property in Stirling, a small rural community located 15 miles north of the city of Belleville. It was there that officers located the stolen vehicles in a barn.
Robert Bradshaw and Gary Leblanc, both residents of Stirling, were arrested following the search of the property. Both were charged with theft of motor vehicles over $5,000, fraud over $5,000, and using forged documents and conspiracy to commit an indictable offense. Leblanc was also charged with uttering threats.
This isn’t the first time that Bradshaw and Leblanc have run afoul of the law. Both men pleaded guilty to multiple charges in December 2003 under Ontario’s Motor Vehicle Dealers Act. There could be more consequences related to the current investigation, which, as of last week, was still ongoing.Bryan Hood is a digital staff writer at Robb Report.
