Interesting happenings, I too am interested in a DS mod chip (the only thing remotely related was an overclock and I think was all but disproven).
Got to love statements that are given though:
"A financial investigation under the Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA) is underway. This can lead to serious financial loss for those criminals involved."
Wow so as far as I can tell nobody has even been arrested, let alone charged, let alone convicted yet the wording suggests the final option there.
"Thousands of chips were found as well as blank media, duplicating systems and piles of consoles waiting to be chipped."
My kitchen is full of knives and my bank full of money (ok maybe not that full), guess I must have stabbed an old lady and stole here wallet on my way to buy some meth. Unrelated to this I will share my favourite occurrence once touted, US RIAA/MPAA (unsure which) goons go into someones house and come out with the "equivalent" of X number of drives, it turned out that they count fast drives as 2 drives.
"The successfully executed operation is the outcome of a scrupulously planned six-month investigation"
It took that long to find an address or two and some evidence of "activities".
@moshii that may be the case but I can assure you having lived in the north of the UK for the last few years there are far more pressing concerns. Guess the police chiefs and politicians need their palms or equally sensitive parts of the anatomy greased though.
Everyone else I will start taking bets on how long it takes for the "group" to get tied to "terrorism".
Edit:
If that photo is supposed to be evidence of wrongdoing I seriously hope my front door does not get kicked down any time soon.
