Potential biological lab found in Las Vegas garage

People reports that more than 1,000 samples of potentially hazardous materials were recovered from a Las Vegas home over the weekend. The house on Sugar Springs Drive was identified during an investigation that linked it to a prior illegal biolab probe in Reedley, Calif.

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police arrested 55-year-old Ori Solomon, the property manager, on charges of disposing of and discharging hazardous waste; a federal criminal complaint also charges him as a prohibited person in possession of a firearm. Authorities said the individual connected to the Reedley case is already in federal custody and has pleaded not guilty, per ABC News.

Investigators said the garage was the primary location, where they observed multiple refrigerators, a freezer, a biosafety hood, a centrifuge, laboratory-type equipment, numerous bottles and jugs with unknown liquids, and refrigerated vials.
