U.S. federal authorities announced on Wednesday that they are offering a $5 million reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, the Sinaloa cartel boss who escaped a high-security Mexican prison last month through a mile-long tunnel, reports the Chicago Tribune.

The U.S. $5 million reward is in addition to the $3.8 million reward already offered by the Mexican government.

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) also has set up a toll-free tip line (844-692-4101) for U.S. residents, as well as an international tip line (001-844-692-4101), the DEA said in a news release. Information about Guzmán's whereabouts can also be emailed to chapotips@usdoj.gov.
