WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Federal agents have closed down the first known smuggling tunnel under the U.S.-Canada border and arrested on drug charges the three Canadians who allegedly built it, law enforcement authorities said Thursday.
The three men from Surrey, British Columbia, were taken into custody Wednesday night as they emerged on the U.S. side of the tunnel they had built during the past year, according to Drug Enforcement Administration officials.
Two U.S. citizens also were arrested for transporting marijuana authorities said was taken through the tunnel.
A Twin Falls, Idaho, woman was arrested Saturday en route from Seattle, Washington, to Twin Falls with 93 pounds of marijuana in a car she had picked up at a Seattle-area shopping mall, authorities said.
