Virginia Beach, Va. - Neighbors woke up to Virginia Beach police, fire crews and HAZMAT teams bringing out chemicals from a suspected meth lab in a shed on Old Clubhouse Road.
That shed sits next to a park.
"I'm like What? A meth lab? Where our children play?! It's full everyday with children and parents and to have that so close to family like that it's unbelievable," says neighbor Kim Chreene.
Police say someone called the station early this morning saying they should come check out the area.
