On a routine patrol, a police officer found the signs of a working meth lab in a tunnel under a Walmart Supercenter in Amherst, NY.
According to WKBW in Buffalo, the tunnel ran from a nearby street down under the Walmart parking lot. The entrance was big enough for an individual to enter and is not fenced off or secured, so anyone could access it.
The New York State Police Contaminated Crime Scene Emergency Response Team had members in hazmat suits in the area beneath the parking lot and they discovered spray paint cans, various chemicals and liquid methamphetamine.
All the police can confirm at this time is that the area is a functioning meth lab but they cannot tell when it was last used. The air quality and immediate area surrounding the lab is safe and at this time there are no suspects.
I’m not advocating criminal activity, but man whoever set this lab up should’ve picked a more inconspicuous location. A Walmart?! Come on man.
