Why are there cars in the Detroit River? [Video]

Dozens of cars were pulled out of the Detroit River in west Windsor on Tuesday, causing many questions for Windsorites.

CTV News went back out to the scene on Wednesday to get to the bottom of it.

The cars are being removed from the water to make room for a new development. However, it’s still unknown how and why they ended up there.

According to Peter Berry, harbour master, said each vehicle is linked to some form of criminal activity.

“Oh the curiosity kills you,” said Helmut Bruce, a bystander watching the action.

“Take a look at them. What’s there? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. You think, ‘what’s in them?’ That could be scary sometimes.”
