NOGALES — A clandestine tunnel along the Arizona-Mexican border has been found near downtown Nogales.

That makes nine tunnels found in the U.S. Border Patrol’s Tucson Sector since October.

Agents found the newest tunnel Monday night during routine patrol. It was hidden with clumps of grass about 50 yards north of the border and 100 yards northwest of the port of entry

Agents found the origin of the tunnel using technology. Mexican authorities found the tunnel was carved out of a storm drain.

The Border Patrol says 34 separate tunnels were found and filled in the Tucson Sector between the fiscal years of 2003 and 2008.

The Border Patrol says the tunnels are a result of more effective border security efforts.

Considering the number found, I'm sure it's getting easier and easier to find these.
