On the border of the United States and Mexico, discovered a high-tech drug tunnel
Mexican police discovered an illegally built tunnel near the town of Jakumba, about 67 meters from the US border.
The Attorney General of Mexico allowed the US Border Protection and Customs Service (CBP) to visit the facility from the Mexican side and begin his own investigation, writes TJ.
Unknowns have built a tunnel longer than 190 meters, 102 of which are under the territory of California. To get into it, you need to go down to a depth of about nine meters. The average height of the tunnel is 0,9 meters, width - 0,7 meters.
According to CBP, an electricity supply system using solar panels was installed in the tunnel. On its basis, lighting and ventilation worked underground. In the tunnel also found two pumps for pumping water. In addition, railway rails were laid along its entire length.
The border guards went through the tunnel from Mexico, but came to a dead end: there was no way out to the surface in the USA. Probably, those who planned to use the underground "corridor" did not have time to complete it.
Most likely, they planned to deliver drugs through the tunnel. This is not the first illegal tunnel, discovered by border guards of Mexico and the United States, but one of the most modernized.
