U.S. Border Patrol agents working in Nogales, AZ have found yet another tunnel leading from Mexico.

Agent Mike Scioli with the Tucson Sector says the latest was found on Wednesday in a vacant lot on West International Street -- which runs right along the Border.

The tunnel is burrowed 18 feet underground.

It's three-feet wide and 45 inches tall.

Last month, the Border Patrol had 270 feet of border fence in Nogales reinforced with a 12 foot deep concrete wall.

The latest tunnel was not discovered in that area.

A total of 10 tunnels have been found, leading from Mexico into Nogales since October 2008.
