WASHINGTON (AP) — A U.S. law enforcement official says members of Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman’s security team helped Mexican and U.S. authorities find the country’s most wanted drug dealer in a hotel in a beach resort town.

The U.S. official says the guards had been arrested earlier this month in a series of raids at seven houses in Culiacan, Mexico. Agents from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and the Mexican military found a series of interconnected tunnels under the houses that Guzman is thought to have used to escape.
