Three B.C. men charged with drug smuggling after tunnel discovered at border
LANGLEY, B.C. - Three Surrey, B.C., men have been charged in Washington state with conspiracy to distribute and import marijuana after law enforcement officials discovered a tunnel crossing the U.S.-Canada border.
The U.S. Justice Department says the 110-metre tunnel runs from a depth of one to three metres and is reinforced with iron rebar and 2x6 wood supports.
It starts under a Quonset hut in Langley and ends beneath the living room of a house in Lynden, Wash.
The justice department says 42 kilograms of pot were transported through the tunnel, loaded into a van and driven to the Bellis Fair mall, where the marijuana was loaded into another vehicle.
That vehicle was stopped by the Washington State Patrol and the pot was seized.
Francis Devandra Raj, 30, Timothy Woo, 34, Johnathan Valenzuela, 27, are to appear in court in Seattle at 2:30 p.m.
