Las Vegas police arrested an Israeli citizen following a raid on an alleged illicit biolab where multiple people reportedly became 'deathly ill.' Authorities seized more than 1,000 samples, freezers, centrifuges and other lab equipment; court filings also flagged hazardous liquids and biosafety gear. The FBI transferred samples to the National Bioforensic Analysis Center in Maryland for forensic testing. Prosecutors added weapons charges after recovering multiple firearms at the residence, complicating the criminal case. Local media and investigators noted similarities to other investigations of unlicensed labs and possible counterfeit‑medicine production. Law enforcement and public‑health officials are assessing exposure risks, disposal of hazardous material and potential regulatory gaps that allowed biological materials to be stored at a residential property.
