Tunnel in a KFC – level 1

31-08-2018 07:00

Police find a tunnel. It is on the border between the USA and Mexico. It starts in a house in Mexico. It leads to a KFC restaurant in the USA. The restaurant is old and closed.

This is a tunnel for smuggling drugs. Police arrest the KFC’s owner. However, they want to find more guilty people. Making a tunnel between the USA and Mexico is a crime.

Difficult words: border (the line between two countries), smuggle (move something illegal to another country), owner (a person who owns – has something), guilty (a person guilty of a crime does/did the crime).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
