Hide AdGen Duarte said that nine men and a woman have been arrested and accused of being responsible for the tunnel's construction.
He said the house included an altar to Santa Muerte, a sacred figure adored by some drug traffickers.
Last November, authorities in Tijuana found between 25 and 30 tons of marijuana in a 600-metre tunnel.
