Note that it was City of London Police involved. The City of London is quite distinct and different from the London that tourists know of. The City of London is owned by the corporations (mainly financial institutions) within its boundary, it is self-governing and has the right to set up it's own police force which can take enforcement action in any part of the UK, not just the City of London. They are basically an enforcement arm for corporations and are very interested in things like enforcing intellectual property claims.

Oh, it was SoE. That's... interesting. Wonder if true.

Btw, it is quite serious how you handle dev kits. Generally they're held on premises for this reason (and SoA does a good enough job of it), so it's a pretty wild mistake to dispose of them. It was really, really under lock and key prior to Switch 2 release!

There are exceptions, though, like demos at major events. I wonder if there was something like that recently.
