Federal and local law enforcement officials in Las Vegas are investigating a possible illegal laboratory in a residential subdivision that they say may be linked to another similar investigation in California.
In Las Vegas, Ori Solomon, 55, was charged this week with one count of illegal possession of a firearm and with one count of disposing and discharging hazardous waste, the police said. Investigators linked the property owner to a 2023 illegal biological laboratory investigation in Reedley, Calif., where investigators found materials “possibly associated with infectious diseases like hepatitis, Covid-19, H.I.V., malaria and other potentially dangerous pathogens” in a warehouse, according to the police.
Jia Bei Zhu, a Chinese citizen, was arrested in October 2023 in connection with manufacturing and distributing misbranded medical devices and for making false statements to the Food and Drug Administration.
