The FBI is probing links between a suspected biolab found in a northeast Las Vegas residential subdivision and an illegal biolab case in Reedley, California after employees of property manager Ori Solomon, 55, became gravely ill when they encountered vials of a reddish liquid in his garage. Solomon has been charged with one count each of illegal firearm possession and disposing/discharging hazardous waste, and Las Vegas police say he is a “main agent and conspirator” in the probe into potentially hazardous materials and lab equipment stored at the property.
