Las Vegas Metro Police and FBI agents searched two homes in east Las Vegas early Saturday morning after reports of a possible biological laboratory.<\/p>\n
Further investigation has revealed growing ties between the home and the man responsible for the illegal, Chinese-run bio lab in Reedley that was exposed in 2023.<\/p>\n
The backstory: The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said that SWAT officers and the FBI conducted searches in the area of East Washington Avenue and North Hollywood Boulevard just before 6 a.m. on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Investigators found evidence suggesting possible biological material at a residence on Sugar Springs Drive, including refrigerators containing unknown liquids, Sheriff Kevin McMahill said.<\/p>\n
Police confirmed at least one person has been arrested. McMahill said the individual is not being identified at this time.<\/p>\n
Records point back to Reedley: Clark County property records identified the home\u2019s owner as David Destiny Discovery, LLC, a business registered to David He through the Nevada Secretary of State\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n
David He and his company, David Destiny Discovery, LLC, were previously named in a federal investigation regarding an alleged illegal biological laboratory in Reedley. <\/p>\n
Federal prosecutors in that case identified \u201cDavid He\u201d as an alias for Jia Bei Zhu, who was arrested and charged in October 2023 in connection with the Reedley warehouse.<\/p>\n
In Las Vegas, McMahill said at least one person was arrested in the ongoing investigation but did not release a name. <\/p>\n
According to ABC News, the arrested individual was a property manager, though officials have not confirmed the person\u2019s identity. <\/p>\n
A search of Clark County Detention Center records as of Sunday did not indicate either David He or Jia Bei Zhu in custody.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Las Vegas Metro Police and FBI agents searched two homes in east Las Vegas early Saturday morning after…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":160125,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[112,114,113,7999],"class_list":{"0":"post-160124","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-fresno","8":"tag-fresno","9":"tag-fresno-headlines","10":"tag-fresno-news","11":"tag-highlight"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/160124","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=160124"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/160124\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/160125"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=160124"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=160124"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=160124"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
