Smuggling Tunnel Found at Mexico Border

NOGALES, Ariz. - U.S. Border Patrol agents in Nogales, Ariz. discovered an intricate smuggling tunnel passing under the U.S.-Mexico border Friday.

The 30-foot-long tunnel was discovered about 150 yards east of the DeConcini Port of Entry.

On the Mexican side of the border it is three feet wide by three feet tall. As the tunnel passes under the border fence into the United States, the opening reduces to a hole 18 inches wide by 18 inches tall -- concealed with plywood and weeds.

It's been nearly four months since the discovery of such a tunnel. In June, a 73-foot tunnel was discovered.
