U.S. Border Patrol agents discovered two tunnels in Nogales Wednesday.
Agents on bike patrol made the first discovery Wednesday afternoon during a routine sweep of the Grand Avenue underground drainage tunnel, a release from the Border Patrol said. They discovered a man-made tunnel inside a drainage tube that runs underneath Arroyo Boulevard at Oak Street about 1,000 feet north of the border in Nogales, Ariz.
Agents sent a tunnel robot into the approximately two-foot by two-foot tunnel and measured it at 76 feet, the release said. Officials welded a grate over the entry.
The second tunnel discovery occurred later Wednesday night during another sweep of the Grand Avenue tunnel. This passageway was two-feet by two-feet and about 10 feet in length with primitive shoring on each side, the release said.
The two tunnels bring the fiscal year 2009, which started on Oct. 1, to nine. In fiscal year 2008, agents in the Tucson Sector found 14 tunnels. From 2003-2008, 34 tunnels have been found.
