SWAT arrests Magna man over alleged ‘clandestine laboratory’

MAGNA, Utah (ABC4) — A 45-year-old man was arrested Wednesday after police reportedly uncovered a suspected drug laboratory in Magna.

Thomas Vu is facing charges of ‘operation of a clandestine laboratory’ after SWAT executed a search warrant at Vu’s house, police say.

According to court documents, officers found 43 grams of a “crystallize substance… consistent with meth.” Police also found glassware, beakers, and chemical liquids in the garage of the house.

Documents show the Drug Enforcement Agency lab team also responded to the scene. Agents tested the lab equipment at the house. Items tested positive for eutylone, or “bath salts”, and ketamine.

The West Jordan Street Crimes Unit had been investigating Vu to be involved in “distributing various controlled substances” for several weeks prior to executing the search warrant.

Charges are allegations only. All arrested persons are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
