It's believed they had been there for some time, the police force added.
The investigation is in the initial stages, and residents should expect a higher than normal police presence, OPP said.

Sharp rise in Windsor vehicle thefts
Vehicle thefts have risen in Windsor, according to the Windsor police. CTV Windsor's Stefanie Masotti has tips on staying vigilant. Vehicle thefts have risen in Windsor, according to the Windsor police. CTV Windsor's Stefanie Masotti has tips on staying vigilant. With rising vehicle thefts in Windsor, police are sounding the alarm. 'It's happening all across Windsor. Not in one area in particular,' said Const. Andie Suthers. From July 22 to July 28, police responded to 11 vehicle thefts, which is a 57 per cent increase compared to the same week last year. Police are asking the public to be vigilant, since six of the vehicles were left unlocked with the keys still inside. 'This remains one of the most common ways that vehicles are being stolen,' said Suthers. Nine of the 11 thefts have been recovered so far, but police urge people to leave their cars locked, never leave the vehicle running or leave the keys in the vehicle. - With files from CTV's Stefanie Masotti
