American officials are expected to release more information Thursday on a tunnel discovered running from British Columbia to Washington state.
It's believed the tunnel was built to transport drugs between Canada and the U.S.

U.S. government agencies, including the FBI and drug enforcement officials, had been monitoring its construction for eight months.
They moved in and sealed it on Wednesday shortly after it opened, reportedly arresting several people.
The metre-wide tunnel runs between a metal shed in Langley, B.C. and a house in Lynden, Washington.
American officials are expected to release more information at a news conference on Thursday morning at the American end of the tunnel.
