The FBI and Las Vegas Metro Police raided a suspected biological laboratory found at a home in Las Vegas. Police searched the home on Saturday and found “refrigerators with vials containing unknown liquids,” KLAS reports. Investigators have learned the suspected biological lab may be connected to a similar incident in California, where officials discovered infectious agents such as HIV and malaria.

Shady Lab Discovered in California City, ‘At Least 20 Potentially Infectious Agents’ Detected The Fresno County warehouse housed an “unlicensed laboratory full of lab mice, medical waste and hazardous materials.” Reedley code enforcement officers first investigated the warehouse in March of that year, and suspicious findings led to a multi-agency investigation. KLAS shared further details: Shortly before 6 a.m., a Metro SWAT team served a search warrant at the home on Sugar Springs Drive near Washington Avenue and Hollywood Boulevard to search for a possible “biological laboratory” inside the home. A second location was also searched, but no lab was located. An LLC tied to the home’s county records matches the name of a company that is part of an ongoing federal case in California involving a biological laboratory there. In that case, a Chinese citizen faces federal charges for allegedly manufacturing and distributing misbranded medical devices, according to federal prosecutors. As part of that investigation, local and federal officials raided the suspected biolab in Reedley, California, in Fresno County. “Inside the Reedley Biolab, officials observed blood, tissue and other bodily fluid samples and serums; and thousands of vials of unlabeled fluids and suspected biological material,’ raising the concern that they contained pathogens,” according to a federal report from the Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party. Some of these vials were labeled with the names of pathogens in English or Mandarin.” Investigators also located “pathogen-labeled containers” with labels such as “dengue fever,” “HIV,” and “malaria,” the report said, along with 1,000 mice. The man connected to the Reedley biolab remained in federal custody ahead of a spring trial. His name is listed as the registered agent of the Las Vegas-based company that owns the Sugar Springs Drive property. The LLC purchased the home in 2022. Two other people connected to the LLC are tied to a Spring Valley business address. The company appears to have a warehouse location in Las Vegas as well, according to documents. In court documents, the man previously told a judge he no longer runs the companies, though he remained listed in Nevada business records as of Sunday. There was no indication as of Sunday that he was charged with a crime connected to Saturday’s raid. "An illegal bio lab was just raided in Vegas. It appears to be linked to the secret Chinese lab found in California in 2023, which was oozing with E. Coli, HIV, and Malaria. Congress must pass my bill to find these illegal labs and shut them all down," Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-CA) commented. An illegal bio lab was just raided in Vegas.

That probe found the illegal bio lab had allegedly been receiving money from Chinese banks and was housing thousands of samples of potential pathogens labeled as being HIV, malaria, TB, COVID-19 and even Ebola. He has pleaded not guilty in the 2023 case. Investigators are now searching 20 other locations to determine whether there might be any connection to Saturday’s search. So far, nothing concerning has been found at other locations, sources said. CBS News provided video coverage:
