At last, police have identified two men who built a 30-foot tunnel in Toronto that was discovered in January.

Toronto police spokesman Victor Kwong told Toronto's CP24 that the space was created as a "man cave." "It is simply two guys who just wanted to dig a cave," Kwong told CBC News. "That really is what our investigation has led to... They just wanted to dig a cave to hang out."

During the investigation of the tunnel, police found a gas-powered generator, food and drink containers, and a sump pump. Police said the tunnel was not built with criminal intent and is not a threat to Toronto residents. No charges were filed, and police told CBC News the men, who are in their 20s, were "very apologetic" for building it.
