Descrizione
The cartels in Tijuana, Mexico, employ drug tunnels as a clandestine means to transport illicit narcotics, primarily marijuana and cocaine, across the border into the United States. Here's a summary...
mostra di più- Secret Construction: Cartels invest significant resources in digging underground tunnels, often starting from buildings or properties on the Mexican side of the border, such as warehouses or residential homes.
- Sophisticated Engineering: The construction of these tunnels requires sophisticated engineering techniques, including the use of heavy machinery such as hydraulic lifts and pneumatic tools to excavate the soil and reinforce the tunnel walls.
- Length and Depth: These tunnels can vary in length, ranging from a few hundred feet to several thousand feet, and are typically dug deep underground to evade detection.
- Hidden Entrances and Exits: Cartels conceal the entrances and exits of these tunnels within buildings, hidden compartments, or camouflaged structures to avoid detection by law enforcement.
- 24/7 Operation: Once operational, the tunnels facilitate a continuous flow of drugs, with traffickers working around the clock to move large quantities of narcotics across the border undetected.
- Detection Efforts: Law enforcement agencies on both sides of the border employ various detection methods, including ground-penetrating radar, infrared technology, and canine units, to locate and dismantle these tunnels.
- Structural Integrity: Due to the clandestine nature of their construction, drug tunnels pose significant safety risks, including collapses and structural instability, endangering both traffickers and law enforcement personnel.
- Interception: While some tunnels successfully evade detection for extended periods, others are intercepted by authorities, leading to the seizure of drugs and arrests of individuals involved in their operation.
- Competition and Conflict: Cartels compete for control over lucrative smuggling routes, leading to violence and turf wars, as rival groups seek to establish supremacy and protect their interests.
