A New York man inadvertently called the cops on himself when he reported a burglary at the location where he was running a secret meth lab that authorities compared to the iconic show "Breaking Bad."
Matthew Leshinsky, 23, of Farmingville on New York's Long Island, pleaded guilty to unlawful manufacture of methamphetamine and other related charges, the Suffolk County district attorney's office said in a Friday news release.
Authorities say on June 7, 2023, at about 3:30 a.m., Leshinsky called 911 to report a burglary at his purported business establishment, Quantitative Laboratories LLC. When Suffolk County police officers arrived at the scene, they found broken glass at the building's entrance. The officers also discovered what appeared to be a clandestine lab that was used to make methamphetamine and a hallucinogenic called dimethyltryptamine, or DMT.
