A suspected drug smuggling tunnel has been found stretching 600ft from an old KFC restaurant in the US to a trap door in Mexico.
The passageway runs from San Luis, Arizona, across the border into a bedroom in San Luis Rio Colorado, Sonora, less than a mile away.
Eerie photographs of the tunnel - which is 22 feet deep, five feet tall and three feet wide - show a red rope hanging over its entrance.
Officials believe narcotics were raised up by a pulley system, loaded into toolboxes and taken from the restaurant.
Police made the discovery after San Luis cops pulled over Ivan Lopez on August 13 during a traffic stop.
Drugs dogs reacted to his car and as officers searched the vehicle they discovered 168kg of narcotics in two toolboxes.
