MEXICO CITY — Mexican federal police say they have found an illegal tunnel stretching under the U.S.-Mexico border.
Sunday’s statement says that Mexican police working with the U.S. Border Patrol from Nogales, Arizona, located the entrance to the tunnel inside the wall of a storm drain on the Mexican side of the border.
The tunnel was 31.5 metres long and ran toward an empty lot on the Arizona side. The first half of the tunnel had been stabilized with wooden beams, but the second half was incomplete. It had not yet broken the surface in the U.S.
