The Ministry of Homeland Security said Operation Iceberg was carried out between July 22 and July 25 by the Counter Trafficking Unit with support from several law enforcement agencies. Officials described it as one of the unit's largest coordinated operations, involving searches at multiple locations in Trinidad and Tobago. Three Preventive Detention Orders were executed under the Emergency Powers Regulations, 2026, as investigators continued examining allegations of human trafficking, including offences involving children and the sexual exploitation of a minor.

Among those detained was 41-year-old Trinidad and Tobago Defence Force member Titus Du Bois, who was taken into custody in St James during the first phase of the operation. Two other suspects were later detained as investigators expanded the operation into Tobago, marking the Counter Trafficking Unit's first major enforcement action on the island. Authorities also said several vulnerable individuals were identified and placed under protective care as part of the investigation.
