SAN LUIS, Ariz. (KXAN/CNN) -- Underneath a defunct Kentucky Fried Chicken shop in San Luis, Arizona, federal authorities made a startling discovery -- a tunnel to Mexico.

The Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Customs and Border Protection recently obtained a search warrant for the former restaurant and inside they found a tunnel in the kitchen area.

The tunnel was only 8 inches in diameter but was 22 feet deep and nearly 600 feet long, connecting the fast food location to a home in Mexico.

Authorities say the tunnel was used to smuggle illegal drugs across the border.

22 feet deep, 5 feet tall, 3 feet wide according to the DM. In other words, plenty big enough for adult men to actually build it. Not a stretch at all to say it was also used to move people.

I got it now. That sentence that was quoted was badly written.

The tunnel opening on one side was only 8 inches wide.

Not a stretch at all to say it was also used to move people.

That still seems to be a major stretch. The tunnel on the US side was 8 inches wide. That's pretty small.
