4 tunnels for migrants, drugs found at border
HERMOSILLO -- Mexican agents found four tunnels under the Mexico-Arizona border that were presumably used to transport drugs or migrants into the United States, officials said Monday.
The tunnels were found Saturday by Mexican agents patrolling near the border city of Nogales, federal investigators said. The agents entered a drainage canal as part of their patrol and found a door at the border that led to four separate tunnels.
4 drug tunnels found under border
HERMOSILLO, Mexico -- Mexican agents have found four tunnels under the Mexico-Arizona border, which were presumably used to transport drugs or migrants into the United States, officials said Monday.
The tunnels were found Saturday by Mexican agents patrolling near the border city of Nogales, federal investigators said. The agents entered a drainage canal as part of their patrol and found a door at the border that led to four separate tunnels, each about 1 yard in diameter.
They found some picks and chisels used to carve out the tunnels, but there was no evidence of drugs or people -- only old clothes.
Drug Enforcement Administration were arriving from the United States Monday to investigate exactly where the tunnels lead and what they were used for.
Nice to see Mexican authorities taking care of their side of the issue.
