Drug tunnel: Mexico to KFC

The 600ft (180m) passageway was in the basement of the old restaurant in San Luis, leading under the border to a home in San Luis Rio Colorado.

Authorities made the discovery last week and have arrested the southern Arizona building's owner.

They were alerted to the tunnel after the suspect, Ivan Lopez, was pulled over, according to KYMA News .

 

During the traffic stop, police dogs reportedly led officers to two containers of hard narcotics with a street value of more than $1m in Lopez's vehicle.

Investigators say the containers held more than 118kg (260lb) of methamphetamine, 6kg of cocaine, 3kg of fentanyl, and 19kg of heroin.

Agents searched Lopez's home and his old KFC, discovering the tunnel's entrance in the kitchen of the former fast-food joint.

 

The passageway was 22ft deep, 5ft tall and 3ft wide, and ended at a trap door under a bed in a home in Mexico, said US officials.

The drugs are believed to have been pulled up through the tunnel with a rope.

This is not the first such discovery - two years ago a 2,600ft tunnel was found by authorities in San Diego, California.

Authorities said it was one of the longest such drug tunnels ever discovered, used to transport an "unprecedented cache" of cocaine and marijuana.

In July alone, US Border Patrol seized 15kg of heroin, 24lbs of cocaine, 327kg of methamphetamine and 1,900kg of marijuana at border checkpoints nationwide.

I think we've finally cracked the case, folks.

So is meth an herb or a spice? Need something to jazz up some beercan chicken.

And with no pickles. 

Point of order, when did $1m become one million instead of one thousand?  Used to be Roman numerals, and one million was $1MM.  I never agreed to this change.

KFC needs to pay close attention to this franchise owner’s business model and adapt.

We all start off with a toe in the water, but given enough time you will fall into the black hole that is “extra crispy”. You don’t come back from that.

So the secret blend of 11 herbs and spices is in the hands of the cartel? Uh-oh.
