Jing Qu, 55, of Flushing, N.Y., was arrested in connection with performing illegal surgical procedures.
Metro Police have arrested a 55-year-old New York woman who is accused of performing a surgical procedure without a medical license at a southwest valley home.
A neighbor’s tip prompted police to investigate suspicious activities at a residence in the 7700 block of Somerhill Point Way, near Warm Springs Road and Jones Boulevard, police said.
Officers responded at 4:51 p.m. Monday to the residence and found a person undergoing a facial cosmetic surgery procedure, police said. Medical personnel transported the patient to an area hospital for injuries not considered life-threatening.
Police arrested Jing Qu, of Flushing, N.Y., who allegedly was performing the procedure when officers arrived, authorities said. Qu was booked into the Clark County Detention Center on two counts of practicing medicine without a license.
The investigation is ongoing.
