A police raid of a data center in Farnborough, UK, has seen around £1.2 million ($1.61m) worth of equipment seized.

The raid was conducted after the Police Intellectual Property Crime Unit (PIPCU) received a report of suspicious activity at the data center.
Sky assisted PIPCU with the raid, helping to dismantle the pirate infrastructure, which included clusters of high-bandwidth servers supplying streams to thousands of UK customers.
