Secret Tunnel Used for Drug Smuggling Discovered Under California Store
A sophisticated drug smuggling tunnel has been discovered beneath a store in San Diego County, California. The tunnel, which stretches nearly 2,000 feet from Otay Mesa to Tijuana, was used to smuggle approximately $45 million worth of cocaine into the United States. The U.S. Department of Justice alleges that the Jalisco New Generation cartel operated the tunnel, which was equipped with reinforced walls, a rail system, ventilation, and electricity. Four men have been charged with using the tunnel to traffic narcotics. The discovery was made by a Homeland Security task force after observing suspicious activities at the store, leading to the seizure of over a ton of cocaine.
