December 20, 2007 - U.S. authorities have discovered a cramped but sophisticated drug smuggling tunnel linking Nogales, Arizona, with its Mexican sister city, Nogales, Sonora, officials said on Friday.
gents discovered the tunnel's entrance in the house's utility room hidden beneath sheets of plywood and weighed down with dirt filled bags. The tunnel had been recently constructed and looked like it had not yet been used, said the ICE statement.
The shaft of the tunnel was reinforced with wood supports and sand bags. It had lighting but no ventilation system.
