The tunnel that was found was said to measure around 400 yards long and it was used to link warehouses from Tijuana to San Diego. According to Derek Benner who is a  U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent the United States seized about nine tons of marijuana while on the other side of the tunnel Mexican authorities seized about eight tons. The tunnel walls were lined with wood supports that helped to keep the tunnels up. The passage was equipped with lighting and ventilation systems according to  Paul Beeson who is the chief of the Border Patrol's San Diego sector.
