Local and federal investigators in Las Vegas are actively working to determine what substances were found inside a home described as a possible biological lab, law enforcement sources told ABC News.

Officials searched the scene on Saturday morning, with investigators saying they are currently uncertain exactly what was found.

According to sources, the investigation began as a code‑violation call. When authorities began to suspect that illegal medical‑type biological research materials might be stored at the property, the Joint Terrorism Task Force took over the investigation.

Investigators removed materials found in vials and plan to transport them to the county’s secure health facility for testing to determine whether they are harmful.

Law enforcement has not yet determined what the recovered materials are or whether they pose any danger.

The owner of the property is a Chinese national who was arrested and charged in 2023 and is currently in jail.

Sources say the person arrested on Saturday was a property manager at the location.

The case in 2023 led to a congressional investigation. 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.

Oh my God, why can't we just nuke China and get it over with?
 
At this point, I assume every foreigner is a malicious saboteur unless proven otherwise. Rarely am I proven wrong.

Thank God Trump promised to import another half a million of these chinks into America every year with student visas. We just don't have enough potential bioterrorists conducting illegal bioweapons research in America; we need that elite human capital to come here and do it for us since we are too stupid and lazy to do it ourselves.

Got to wonder what horrific bioweapons the Chinese would break out in a war with the US. Xi seemed determined to take Taiwan in 27 so I guess we'll get to see soon enough!

Update:
LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — The FBI and the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department provided an update on the investigation into an alleged illegal biological lab found in a northeast Las Vegas home on Saturday.

Here's what we know so far:​

  • Metro Police and the FBI served a search warrant at a house near Washington Avenue and Hollywood Boulevard on Saturday.
  • Investigators recovered "evidence of possible biological material, including refrigerators with vials containing unknown liquids," according to LVMPD Sheriff Kevin McMahill.
  • Clark County records show the home is owned by David Destiny Discovery, LLC, registered to a Chinese national, Jia Bei Zhu, who is linked to an investigation into an alleged illegal biological laboratory in Reedley, California.

What are some of the new details the FBI and Metro uncovered in their investigation so far?​

During a press conference on Monday, Metro confirmed the house was owned by the same individual, Jia Bei Zhu, connected to a prior investigation of the alleged illegal biological lab in Reedley, California, in 2023.

The second suspect that Metro Police named and arrested is 55-year-old Ori Solomon, the property manager of the house on Sugar Springs Drive and Temple View—another property that was searched by authorities.

According to Metro Police, three individuals were independently renting out rooms from the property owner and were safely removed from the house. They were not involved in the investigation.

Investigators say the lab was primarily located inside a locked garage within the house.

More than 1,000 samples were collected and stored safely at the Southern Nevada Health District laboratory.

"Initial search of the residence on Sugar Springs residence identified a bio-safety hood, a bio-safety sticker, a centrifuge, multiple refrigerators, red-brown unknown liquids in gallon-sized containers and refrigerated vials with unknown liquids," said Christopher Delzotto, FBI Special Agent in Charge.


On Monday morning, all samples were loaded onto an FBI aircraft, where they will be transported to the National Bioforensic Analysis Center in Maryland for testing.

As of now, it's unknown what exactly was in the samples found within the garage.

Investigators noted that there is no safety concern in the house or the neighborhood where the lab is located.


Has anyone been arrested?​

  • 55-year-old Ori Solomon, a property manager, was booked into the Clark County Detention for a felony charge of improperly disposing of hazardous waste.
  • Jia Bei Zhu was arrested and charged in October 2023 in connection with the warehouse in Reedley. He pleaded not guilty and remains in custody.

This is not a left or right problem this is a core government issue. Even now under Trump Chinese get caught smuggling in viruses and STILL somehow no one is sounding the alarm on this fucking bug problem we have in every vital industry in America. Not even Jews are afforded the same courtesy.
