A third individual has been arrested in connection with the operation of an unlicensed medical facility in Las Vegas, with police identifying 32-year-old Carmen Corella-Redondo as a suspect. According to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, she was taken into custody last Thursday, and faces charges, including practicing medicine without a license and furnishing dangerous drugs without a prescription.

After being booked into the Clark County Detention Center, the police are continuing their efforts to identify additional victims, as reported by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
