Law enforcement discovered a tunnel running from a retail store in San Diego into Tijuana, Mexico. The passage was used to smuggle more than $45 million worth of cocaine, federal officials said. The tunnel extends hundreds of feet under the border and surfaces inside the California store.

Officials described the structure as elaborate and said it had carried the cocaine across the border. @CBSNews reported that the tunnel was found during a law enforcement operation. Federal officials confirmed the $45 million valuation of the cocaine that moved through the tunnel.

The discovery links a single commercial location in San Diego directly to cross-border trafficking activity ending in Tijuana.
