Cops on both sides of the US-Mexico border are investigating a sprawling underground passage uncovered in the Tijuana area that is believed to extend toward the US.
The tunnel was found Saturday in the Nueva Tijuana neighborhood during a raid carried out by Mexican federal authorities with support from the Mexican Navy, according to Mexico’s Attorney General’s Office.
The underground route was uncovered after authorities executed a search warrant at a property in eastern Tijuana.
During the operation, officers seized a variety of items, including ammunition, cell phones, bank cards, a digital video recorder and dozens of doses of methamphetamine.
While inspecting the site, investigators located a wooden-lined tunnel that officials believe was constructed to reach the U.S. border.
Mexican authorities said evidence recovered during the raid suggests the property may have been used as a logistical center for criminal activity, including the storage and movement of narcotics, weapons and explosive materials.
Following the search, both the seized evidence and the property were transferred to federal prosecutors, who are continuing the investigation.
The discovery has also drawn the attention of U.S. authorities.
In a statement, Homeland Security Investigations confirmed agents are participating in an active probe involving the underground passage near Otay Mesa, a major border crossing area between Tijuana and San Diego. Investigators said the hidden passage stretches roughly 869 feet and sits about 21 feet below ground, making it one of the more substantial cross-border tunnel discoveries in recent years.

Rats gotta get their voters here somehow!
Better call Saul. (Saul Goodman).
Kinda sounds like a typical traffic stop in Akron.
Somehow I thought our government used ground penetrating Radar and scanned the border line to find stuff like this ?
or am I thinking way to far out of the box for government work.
Tunnels in TJ are nothing new. From AI....
The first widely reported tunnel found between Tijuana and San Diego was discovered on January 25, 2006. It ran from a warehouse near the Tijuana airport to a warehouse in San Diego and was about 2,400 feet long.

Depends on the soil. Tunnel was 21’ below the surface.
Articl doesn’t say where and how far it extended into the US or what was above tunnel.
OTOH, we may have located it and quietly tipped off the Mexicans.
Mexico probably built it.
Hahahahaha! Good one.
I was thinking Slim Pickens, "A fella could have a pretty good weekend in Las Vegas with all this stuff..."
Got to have a way for voters to get to the polls.
A sign has been found near the entrance. It says JoeBama tunnel !
Should hire them to build the hi-speed rail in Cali.
...Mexican federal authorities with support from the Mexican Navy,
bttt
THIS is why criminals ought do hard labor. Because they can do really good work!
Unfortunately, the tunnel guys end up sitting in jail, when the tunnels of oil pipelines around the straights of hormuz could be all finished by now, making iran irrelevant.
And gov newsome could have a tunnel to his hairdresser, limiting our need to see him in public.
Tragic
It sounds like the tunnel was abandoned before the raid, with a token amount of "evidence" left behind so the police could look like they're doing their job.
Mexico is America’s biggest enemy.
Major (King) Kong.
Secret Mexican tunnels are like cockroaches, for every one you find there are a thousand more to be discovered.
A tunnel like that could be worth billions of dollars. If they only found a few doses of drugs and some abandoned weapons and burner phones, I’d say this was a “gimme” that the drug cartel gave away so the government could look like its doing something.
