DEA officials have uncovered the largest drug smuggling tunnel ever found. Officials seized 2 tons of marijuana but have made zero arrests. Amazingly, no one on either side ever noticed any of the 100s of truckloads of dirt that must have been carried away. Do you live near a drug tunnel? Here's what eye witnesses report:

A sign outside says it is home to V&F Distributors LLC, but the building appears abandoned The inside is empty except for a couple of pallets of merchandise.

Neighbors in the industrial park two blocks from the border say that most of the activity at the warehouse stopped abruptly in October.

Before then, the warehouse was busy, with trucks regularly pulling in and out of its 12 docks, said Luis Barraza, who works at a company across the street from the rear of the warehouse.

Barraza said he believed the beige-and-brown building had been occupied by a produce company, but in November it appeared that new tenants had moved in. The landscaping around the warehouse was spruced up, but Barraza said the only visible traffic was a truck bearing a blue shipping container, which would be at Dock No. 9 by the time workers at nearby businesses arrived in the morning.

The container covered the entire door, and would remain there for one or two days before disappearing during the night.

Sometimes, Barraza said, people inside the warehouse would leave a few of the shipping bay doors open, and workers across the street noticed the warehouse was empty.

“It's a pretty big warehouse, and nothing was happening there,” said Barraza, 27, a warehouse supervisor for Mecalux USA Inc., which makes shelving systems. “We used to joke that maybe they were laundering money or something. That's expensive rent.”

The parking lot was so deserted that truckers going to nearby firms sometimes used it as a staging area, he said.
