Incomplete Tunnel Found Near Tijuana Airport, US Border

An incomplete tunnel near Tijuana’s airport and the U.S Border was discovered on Saturday resulting in the arrest of about 15 people and the seizure of nearly 300 pounds of marijuana.

The entrance to the tunnel was found Saturday in a house near the border fence just west of the Tijuana airport, and Mexican soldiers arrested six people, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported.

The six-foot-high tunnel was about 400 feet long but still nearly 500 feet short of reaching the United States, according to Mexican authorities.

The investigation also led the seizure of pot and building supplies in Colonia 20 de Noviembre, where seven other men and two women were arrested.
