MEXICO CITY - Mexican federal police announced Saturday that they had discovered a small tunnel that apparently leads under the U.S. border near San Diego.
The tunnel, which started from an industrial park near the Otay Mesa crossing, was only about 33 feet long and 1.5 feet in diameter.
Digging tools and freshly dug dirt were found inside, and the tunnel was presumably under construction.
Mexican authorities asked U.S. law-enforcement agencies to investigate where the tunnel was headed. They said they believed the tunnel was intended to move migrants or contraband into the United States, and said it may connect to storm drains in California.
