With around 100 underground tunnels Nogales remains the narco-drug tunnel capital of the world. Drug smugglers have proved very creative, once smuggling drugs into the U.S. via parking meter tunnels.

According to Fox News Latino, many of the narco-tunnels were located underneath International Street, which runs along the border wall in several residential and commercial neighborhoods and public parking in Nogales, Arizona. Nogales officials had to remove the parking meters on International Street to prevent transferring illegal goods across the border.

ABC News reported that smugglers in Mexico dug tunnels under the fence leading directly to the parking spots on the street. They cut rectangular holes in the pavement large enough to feed their drugs through. The smugglers' U.S. cohorts would then park cars with false-bottoms on top of the holes in the street. Smugglers would then load their cars with drugs through the tunnel below. When the exchange was complete, the cars would drive away and the concrete patch would be replaced.
