| Video Discription | A sophisticated drug-smuggling tunnel was found under the Arizona-Mexico border, the US Drug Enforcement Administration said in a news release on Thursday. The tunnel was 55 feet deep, 240 yards long and linked an ice plant in San Luis Rio Colorado, Mexico to a strip mall storefront in San Luis, Arizona. Wood beams reinforced the tunnel, like in a mine, and the floor was lined with plywood. The tunnel also had ventilation and lighting. Authorities believe it had not been in use for very long because there was little wear on the floor. The building in Arizona came under surveillance by the DEA at the beginning of this year after police stopped a truck for a traffic violation and found 39 pounds of methamphetamine in a truck's bed. The truck was linked to the building. Mexican military entered the tunnel from their side of the border. "The recent discovery of this sophisticated drug smuggling tunnel is yet another reminder of how desperate these criminal organizations are and the extent they will go to further their drug dealing operations and endanger the security of our citizens, said Doug Coleman, Special Agent in Charge of the DEA's Phoenix Field Division. "The DEA continues to work with our counterparts nationally and internationally to bring to justice these drug trafficking organizations as well as to block their smuggling routes into this country." In the past 10 years, 89 cross-border smuggling tunnels have been discovered in Arizona and 50 in California, according to the DEA. One such tunnel has been found on the US-Canada border. On Wednesday police found an unfinished tunnel in Tijuana, Mexico that was being dug toward San Diego. |
