United States anti-narcotics agents have found a drug-smuggling tunnel running underneath the U.S. border with Mexico that contains electricity, ventilation, and a railway system.
The drug-running tunnel ran from Tijuana, Mexico to a warehouse in San Diego, California about 300 feet away from the border, according to a statement from the U.S. Department of Justice.
Six people were arrested by U.S. authorities in connection with alleged drug-running crimes involving the tunnel that was discovered and have been accused of conspiring to distribute heroin, cocaine, and methamphetamine, among other crimes.
U.S. Attorney Randy Grossman put out a statement saying, "There is no more light at the end of this narco-tunnel".
The estimated length of the tunnel, which was partly located in Baja California is about 1,750 feet and had walls that were reinforced.
The attorney general's office for Baja California in Mexico told Reuters that he had notified U.S. authorities of the tunnel on Sunday, two days after they had discovered it. He also said that it is one of the longest tunnels that has been found in the region.
