A Fox News report said the lab allegedly is tied to China.
“SWAT officers served a search warrant Saturday at a residence on the city’s east side after receiving a tip that a biolab was operating inside the home, according to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department,” the report explained.
A row of refrigerators was found, all containing vials of unknown liquids but with horrifying labels.
Police said evidence, including biological samples, was sent for testing.
Investigators protected themselves with hazmat suits during their work.
The owner of the home was identified as Jia Bei Zhu, who is already in federal custody following the discovery of an unauthorized biolab in Reedley, California, in 2023.
He was accused in that case of making and distributing misbranded medical devices, such as tests for COVID-19, and more. His trial is scheduled for April.
Sheriff Kevin McMahill said in the Las Vegas home, there were more than 1,000 pieces of evidence involving “potential biological and hazardous materials.”
