Federal and local authorities have uncovered an illegal biological laboratory operating inside a Las Vegas home owned by a Chinese national, triggering a full hazmat response by Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Investigators removed more than 1,000 vials and containers of unknown liquids, along with lab equipment consistent with biosafety operations, from a locked garage. The property is linked to Jia Bei Zhu, who is already in custody in connection with a 2023 California case involving thousands of biological samples labeled as potential pathogens and alleged Chinese funding. Authorities say the purpose, origin, and risk of the materials remain unknown, underscoring a disturbing pattern of clandestine biolabs discovered in American communities.
OLas Vegas police, FBI, and hazmat units raided two homes, finding refrigerators full of unknown liquids, a centrifuge, and biosafety gear in a locked garage that smelled like a stale hospital.
Several renters and cleaners fell severely ill with respiratory issues after exposure….

The illegal bio lab just raided in Las Vegas was operated by the same LLC and Chinese nationals as the one discovered in Reedley, CA. Here's what we know about the Reedley lab from a highly disturbing report I requested by the Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party.

The suspect was using genetically modified mice to test the efficacy of modified biological agents on humans. He was found with 6 firearms on a non-resident visa.
It is not simple or cheap to handle these agents safely. This was not an incompetent researcher. https://t.co/LjMwX9JJkz pic.twitter.com/50D6swpQGi

Illegal Biolab in Vegas
Terrifying discovery as cops raid suspected biolab in Las Vegas with thousands of vialsADVERTISEMENTBy: Stacy Liberatore, 3 February 2026:
Federal and local authorities have uncovered what they allege was an illegal biological laboratory operating inside a Las Vegas home owned by a Chinese national.
Newly released footage from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department shows a dramatic hazmat response as agents hauled bags of medical tubing, vials and containers filled with unknown liquids from the suburban property.
During a press briefing on Monday, LVMPD Sheriff Kevin McMahill revealed investigators discovered a ‘significant volume of material’ stored in refrigerators and freezers throughout the home, including vials and containers holding liquids of varying colors and compositions.

More than 1,000 samples were collected and sent for testing, according to Christopher Delzotto, the special agent in charge of the FBI’s Las Vegas field office.Authorities arrested 55-year-old Ori Solomon, identified as the property manager for the residence on Sugar Springs Drive and a nearby home on Temple View. Both properties were searched as part of the investigation.
Delzotto said the initial search uncovered a biosafety hood, biosafety labeling, a centrifuge, multiple refrigerators, and gallon-sized containers filled with a red-brown liquid, along with refrigerated vials containing unidentified substances.
ADVERTISEMENTPolice confirmed the home is owned by Jia Bei Zhu, the same individual linked to a previous investigation into an alleged illegal biological laboratory discovered in Reedley, California, in 2023. Zhu has remained in custody since that case.
The California discovery later sparked a congressional investigation, which found the lab had allegedly received funding from Chinese banks and stored thousands of biological samples labeled as potential pathogens, including HIV, malaria, tuberculosis, COVID-19 and even Ebola.

The homeowner, Zhu, is scheduled to go on trial in the 2023 case in April. His attorney, Anthony Capozzi, said Monday that his client has been in federal custody for three years.
‘He is not involved in any kind of biolab being conducted in a home in Las Vegas,’ Capozzi said. ‘What went on in that residence, we are unaware of.’
Law enforcement rushed to the home near Washington Avenue and Hollywood Boulevard on Saturday, serving a warrant and taking special precautions.
The team used a robot to clear the home and took multiple air samples, McMahill said.
Police said three people were separately renting rooms from the homeowner at the Sugar Springs property and were safely evacuated during the operation.
Investigators confirmed the renters were not connected to the alleged lab or the investigation.
Authorities said the suspected biological laboratory was largely confined to a locked garage inside the home.
The recovered items are ‘consistent’ with what was found in the Reedley investigation, McMahill said.
More than 1,000 samples were taken from the home that have been shipped off for testing
He emphasized that the most difficult work now lies ahead, as officials attempt to piece together what the materials were, where they came from, and what they were intended for.
Congressman Kevin Kiley (R-CA) is calling for a hearing on the bill to prevent illegal laboratories from continuing to endanger communities.
‘This can’t keep happening,’ said Kiley. ‘The federal government must do more to stop illegal labs from operating in our communities.
‘This bipartisan bill closes loopholes that allow dangerous facilities like these to operate under the radar.’
Kiley added that the illegal biological laboratory found in California was reportedly run by a Chinese national who is a wanted fugitive in Canada, facing a $330 million judgment for stealing American intellectual property.
Authorities said the suspect was a top official at a state-controlled Chinese company and had ties to military-civil fusion programs.
The lab allegedly received millions of dollars in unexplained payments from Chinese banks while it was in operation.
A freezer marked ‘Ebola’ contained sealed silver bags consistent with the lab’s storage of high-risk biological materials. Ebola is a Select Agent with a lethality rate estimated between 25 and 90 percent.
The California lab also reportedly housed nearly a thousand transgenic mice genetically engineered to mimic the human immune system. Lab workers told authorities the mice were designed ‘to catch and carry the COVID-19 virus.’
