Mexico Discovers Advanced Cross-Border Tunnel Near San Diego<\/strong><\/p>\n Mexican authorities have uncovered an intricate underground tunnel close to the U.S.-Mexico border. This tunnel, equipped with lighting, ventilation, and an electronic transport system, is believed to link Tijuana to a street in San Diego.<\/p>\n The investigation, announced by Mexico’s Attorney General’s Office (FGR) on Saturday, followed the execution of a search warrant in the Nueva Tijuana neighborhood. The tunnel measures about 265 meters (approximately 870 feet) long and reaches a depth of around 6.3 meters (21 feet) deep.<\/p>\n Authorities revealed that the tunnel features functional elements such as lighting, ventilation, and a sliding mechanism to facilitate the movement of goods between the two countries. This discovery was part of a broader investigation into violations related to firearms, explosives, and drug trafficking.<\/p>\n Officials suspect the site may have served as a hub for logistics and trafficking activities concerning weapons, explosives, and narcotics.<\/p>\n Photos released from the operations show agents navigating the tunnel and recovering significant evidence, including ammunition, suspected narcotics, cell phones, and documents. Investigators noted that the tunnel\u2019s construction indicates a well-organized operation.<\/p>\n The FGR believes this tunnel likely connects to a street in San Diego, although they have yet to confirm the exact U.S. location or whether the tunnel’s American exit has been found.<\/p>\n This discovery coincides with recent charges against four individuals accused of trafficking over a ton of cocaine through another complex tunnel linking Tijuana to San Diego. This previous tunnel was nearly 1,933 feet long, reaching a depth of about 55 feet, and was also equipped with reinforcements and essential infrastructure.<\/p>\n Federal officials are taking these findings seriously, viewing the discovery as a substantial hit to the criminal organizations that rely on such smuggling routes. The investigation will continue, with evidence handed over to federal prosecutors in Baja California for further inquiry.<\/p>\n U.S. Attorney Adam Gordon highlighted the significance of this operation, stating, \u201cFor these defendants, it wasn\u2019t a light at the end of the tunnel. It was lights and sirens.\u201d<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Mexico Discovers Advanced Cross-Border Tunnel Near San Diego Mexican authorities have uncovered an intricate underground tunnel close to the U.S.-Mexico border.
