Sega may have had them stolen from them by an unscrupulous employee. "I had paid around £10,000 to a removals worker handling SEGA’s office clearance." Did the money he paid go into the pockets of the removals worker or into the pockets of Sega? It seems strange to me that the reseller would be arrested unless he was knowingly buying goods from someone who didn't actually own the consoles.
Wait... Since they were the property of Nintendo and not Sega, then either Sega Corp was selling the consoles illegally or their employee was selling the consoles under Sega's nose illegally. The reseller should have known that dev kits are the property of Nintendo. You don't get into the high-end side of game collecting without understanding this. It's common knowledge among collectors that nobody is really supposed to own a devkit outside of a dev.
