A SOPHISTICATED border tunnel has been discovered connecting San Diego and Tijuana, Mexico, the latest find by investigators who have encountered a number of secret passages in recent years used for drug smuggling.
The passage was recently completed, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement said in a brief statement on Wednesday night.
A spokeswoman, Lauren Mack, declined to elaborate but said more details would be released on Thursday.
Mexican news organisations published photos that show a deep, well-built tunnel near Tijuana's main airport.
Alberto Capella, Tijuana's public safety chief, said a law enforcement operation was under way and he couldn't provide details.
More than 75 tunnels have been discovered along the US-Mexico border since 2008, designed largely to smuggle marijuana to the US.
The tunnels are concentrated along the border in California and Arizona.
San Diego is popular because its clay-like soil is easy to dig, while in Nogales, Arizona, smugglers tap into vast underground drainage canals.
San Diego's Otay Mesa area - site of the latest discovery - has the added draw of plenty of nondescript warehouses on both sides of the border to conceal trucks being loaded with drugs.
