A clandestine laboratory operation may mean any of the following:
- Purchase or procurement of chemicals, supplies, equipment, or laboratory location for the unlawful manufacture of controlled substances.
- Transportation or arranging for the transportation of chemicals,
supplies, or equipment for the unlawful manufacture of controlled substances.
- Setting up of equipment or supplies in preparation for the unlawful
manufacture of controlled substances.
- Distribution or disposal of chemicals, equipment, supplies, or products
used in or produced by the unlawful manufacture of controlled substances.
Most of these types of laboratories or labs are used to manufacture
illegal drugs and the manufacturers of these drugs are criminally liable.

drug methamphetamine. The lab may be located anywhere activities
can be hidden from view. Illegal meth labs have been found in storage
units, motel rooms, trailer parks, apartments, and houses.
