This is just on the outskirts of Heathrow Airport if its the incident I think it is. If so then the premises are within the Authorisation Zone so permission is needed. I suspect the police were actively looking for Drones as it is Christmas and they would know that many new drones would be around. Whilst the "need a licence" is dubious for a December incident, the new licence rules apply from 31st December, this would have been under the old rules where he would needed to have a ID which is a simply online application and not a licence test.
Seems reasonable to me that the police turned up and we do not know what the DJI app displayed to the user at this point. It certainly warns me that Heathrow is nearby and I am 15 miles away.
