The tunnel discovered Tuesday stretched about 400 yards, four feet high and three feet wide and it dropped about 20 feet on the U.S. side.

Two men allegedly seen leaving the warehouse in a truck packed with about three tons of pot were pulled over Tuesday on a highway in suburban La Mesa and arrested. A California Highway Patrol officer was overwhelmed by the smell, according to authorities.

U.S. agents said the sophistication of this latest tunnel suggests that a major Mexican drug cartel was involved, but no link has been established.
