Mexican Authorities Discover Extensive Border Tunnel in Nuevo Tlahuac
Mexican federal authorities, with support from the Mexican Navy, have discovered a significant underground tunnel in the town of Nuevo Tlahuac during the recent rainy season. The finding, reported by “California Post,” is considered one of the most substantial border tunnels uncovered in recent years. The tunnel measures approximately 850 feet (265 meters) in length and extends 21 feet (6.5 meters) below ground level.
Investigators initiated the operation while collecting taxes on a suspected shipment in the area. During the course of the investigation, authorities seized a range of items, including municipal telephones, mobile phones, bank cards, digital video recorders, and a substantial quantity of methamphetamine – dozens of doses were confiscated. The discovery highlights ongoing concerns regarding illicit activity along the Mexican border.
Authorities are continuing their investigation into the tunnel’s purpose and potential connections to organized crime. Further details regarding the operation and seized items are pending official reports.
