Police find the builders of mysterious Toronto tunnel

WATCH: Toronto police have solved the mystery of a tunnel located near a venue set to hold events during this year’s Pan-Am Games. There were concerns about who built the tunnel, but police say it has more to do with testosterone than terrorism. Mike Drolet explains.

TORONTO – Toronto police have located the two men who built the mysterious tunnel located near a Pan Am Games venue, and say that it was constructed for “personal reasons.”

Police wouldn’t say what exactly the cave was used for but suggested the two men built it for fun.

“These two guys in their twenties just had an idea [tp_video id=1858591]to dig a hole and hang out, so they did,” Police spokesperson Victor Kwong said.

In a statement released by police, investigators said they received information from the public on Feb. 27 that helped them find the individuals responsible for building the underground bunker.

“Investigators have verified their account and are satisfied there was neither criminal intent nor any threat to the people or city of Toronto,” the statement read.

Police won’t officially call it a “man cave” but that didn’t stop people on Twitter from having fun with the idea.
