SAN DIEGO (AP) — U.S. authorities estimate 17 tons of marijuana were seized in the discovery of a major cross-border drug tunnel linking warehouses in San Diego and Tijuana, Mexico.
Authorities said Wednesday that about nine tons were found on the U.S. side, either inside a truck that was seen leaving the warehouse or at the warehouse. Mexican authorities seized eight tons.
Two people, Cesar Beltran and Ruben Gomez, were arrested on a California highway and charged with drug crimes.
