A possible biological laboratory discovered in a Las Vegas home on Saturday may be connected to an illegal medical lab previously found in California that contained infectious agents including HIV and malaria, according to investigators.

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and FBI executed a search warrant at a home on Sugar Springs Drive early Saturday morning, where they discovered what authorities described as a "possible biological laboratory" containing "refrigerators with vials containing unknown liquids," according to The Hill.

Sheriff Kevin McMahill called the investigation "extremely complex" during a Saturday news conference, noting that one suspect was taken into custody. The sheriff assured residents this was an isolated incident with no threat to the public.

"This has to be a slow and methodical process by design," McMahill said. "We have to take these situations very seriously, and we take all necessary precautions to keep our personnel and community safe."
