Drug smuggling tunnel shut down

GUARDS on the US-Canadian border have shut down an elaborate 360-foot drug smuggling tunnel.

Drug smuggling tunnel shut down

The Canadians became suspicious last February when they noticed loads of dirt coming out of the boarded-up hut and loads of construction materials going in.
