US officials have discovered an underground tunnel about the length of five football pitches used to smuggle drugs from Mexico to a warehouse in California. It is not known how long the secret passage, which has a railway track, ventilation systems, electricity and reinforced walls, had been operating.
Investigators found the tunnel after staking out a home used to stash drugs in the Mexican border city of Tijuana and stopping vehicles near the warehouse in Otay Mesa, south of San Diego.The warehouse was on a street that was busy during the day but quiet at night, with armed guards watching over a small shaft with a ladder that descended into the tunnel.Agents raided the warehouse and found no drugs there but a tunnel opening carved into the cement floor.
