Drugs seized as border tunnel found

Authorities seized 12 tonnes of marijuana and arrested 22 people after discovering one of the longest cross-border tunnels between the US and Mexico, officials said.

The passage connecting warehouses in San Diego and Tijuana, Mexico, was about 2,400ft long and 30ft deep.

It was lit, ventilated and equipped with a rail system — hallmarks of the most sophisticated tunnels found along the border.
