A terrifying 50ft hidden tunnel discovered under a synagogue led to ten arrests as police stormed the building.
It comes after the shocking discovery of a massive tunnel from the Union Mikvah, in Brooklyn, New York, with footage showing a small hole in the wall leading to a dark tunnel dug from the synagogue's basement. The tunnel, described as "amateurish", extends all the way to '770' - the address of the Chabad-Lubavitch Hasidic movement's World Headquarters in Brooklyn, New York.
According to Jewish publication Forward, the New York Police Department was called to 770 Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn's Crown Heights neighbourhood, where several Chabad students resisted construction crews called to fill in the tunnel connecting the synagogue to the defunct Chabad mikvah around the corner.
No one's sure why or who made the tunnels. They think someone started making them in the last couple of years. Some theories on social media claim they were built for sex trafficking but there is no hard evidence of this as of yet.
