REEDLEY, California – Police announced a Reedley California warehouse uncovered a large-scale illegal medical lab complete with what they say is bioengineered mice, infectious agents, nearly 30 refrigerators and freezers some of which were non-operational, incubators, and more leaving police and public health officials concerned.
Officials say the facility was a Chinese medical company registered in Nevada, they say it was operating the unlicensed facility
Local, state, and federal agencies are all involved and what prompted this investigation was a simple garden hose that was illegally attached and coming out of a wall in the back of the building.
Prado told NBC affiliate KSEE of Fresno that those associated with Prestige BioTech were not forthcoming with information. Court documents say they failed to provide any licensing or permit that allows experimentation or other laboratory activity.
Reedley City Manager Nicole Zieba told KSEE that officials have cleared the area of hazardous materials but are still working to empty the warehouse.
The lab was shut down immediately but investigators still have no idea where the test were being used.
