On Oc­to­ber 5, 2022, firearms deal­er Brent Thomas was tak­en from his ho­tel by mem­bers of the Roy­al Bar­ba­dos Po­lice Force while en route to the US to seek med­ical treat­ment fol­low­ing his ar­rest days ear­li­er (Sep­tem­ber 29) with­out any charges be­ing laid in Trinidad.

The Bar­ba­dos po­lice lent their sup­port on the mat­ter be­cause they had been pro­vid­ed with copies of six ar­rest war­rants for Thomas on charges of pos­sess­ing grenades and an au­to­mat­ic ri­fle by the Transna­tion­al Or­gan­ised Crime Unit (TOCU) in the Min­istry of Na­tion­al Se­cu­ri­ty.

The T&T Po­lice Ser­vice (TTPS) be­lieved that Thomas was at­tempt­ing to flee to Greece.
