Tunnel to Tecate

About 4am yesterday morning a tunnel and 15,000 pounds of pot where found in a stationary shipping container parked in a lot near Tecate.

The opening is about 3 feet by 3 feet and appears to be reinforced with lumber. Agents described the tunnel as sophisticated.

Sophisticated?

When the agent opened it farther, an individual inside jumped into the tunnel opening. The agent reported that a semi-automatic weapon was tucked into the waistband of the person's clothes.

The person has not been found.

I wonder why.

An interagency tunnel task force tested the passageway to ensure it is properly ventilated before agents venture deep inside, Foreman said.

An interagency tunnel task force?
