Authorities are investigating a suspected biological laboratory with alleged Chinese ties discovered inside a Las Vegas<\/a> home.<\/p>\n

SWAT officers served a search warrant Saturday at a residence on the city\u2019s east side after receiving a tip that a biolab was operating inside the home, according to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.<\/p>\n

More than 1,000 pieces of evidence with “potential biological and hazardous materials” were primarily located in a locked garage, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Sheriff Kevin McMahill said during a press briefing on Monday. Authorities said<\/a> there is no threat to the public.<\/p>\n

The property manager of the home, 55-year-old Ori Solomon, was arrested Saturday and booked into the Clark County Detention Center on charges of disposing and discharging hazardous waste, police said.<\/p>\n

LVMPD Sheriff Kevin McMahill said police took extensive precaution while serving the warrant. Authorities, he said, used a robot to clear the home, collect air samples and deploy hazardous materials teams to remove items safely.<\/p>\n

In the garage, investigators found multiple refrigerators with vials of unknown liquids, unknown liquids in gallon-size containers, a centrifuge and other laboratory equipment, authorities said.<\/p>\n

“Some of that evidence included biological material and liquids that were meticulously collected and sent to FBI labs<\/a> for testing,” police said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Investigators identified the owner of the Las Vegas home as Jia Bei Zhu, who is already in federal custody following the discovery of an unauthorized biolab in Reedley<\/a>, California, in 2023.<\/p>\n

Zhu was arrested in that case on federal charges<\/a> alleging he manufactured and distributed misbranded medical devices, including tests for COVID-19, pregnancy and HIV, without proper permits and made false statements to the Food and Drug Administration. He is scheduled to go on trial in April.<\/p>\n

Zhu\u2019s attorney, Anthony Capozzi, said Monday that his client is not involved in the Las Vegas investigation.<\/p>\n

“He is not involved in any kind of a biolab being conducted in a home in Las Vegas,” Capozzi said. “What went on in that residence we are unaware of.”<\/p>\n

The Reedley biolab drew attention after a clandestine laboratory was discovered operating inside a warehouse owned by Zhu\u2019s company, Universal Meditech Inc.<\/p>\n

According to a report by the House Select Committee on the People\u2019s Republic of China, Zhu, 62, is a citizen of the PRC and a wanted fugitive from Canada. The committee alleged Zhu had close ties to the Chinese government and was involved in a transnational criminal enterprise<\/a> that stole millions of dollars in intellectual property from U.S. companies.<\/p>\n

City officials in Reedley first raised concerns in December 2022 after a code enforcement officer noticed a green garden hose protruding from the warehouse. A subsequent inspection revealed extensive laboratory equipment, manufacturing devices and medical-grade freezers inside the building.<\/p>\n

Officials also reported finding approximately 1,000 transgenic mice<\/a> used in disease research. Workers at the facility told authorities the mice were genetically engineered for COVID-19 research.<\/p>\n

The FBI is assisting in the Las Vegas investigation, which remains ongoing. Authorities declined to provide additional details about the materials recovered or whether additional arrests are expected.<\/p>\n
