There is a lot of discussion about how a drone might avoid jamming, which is worth considering with regard to going forward, but the fact is that jamming apparently did bring this incident to an end, so the delay suggests that the relevant authorities were caught woefully unprepared.

From media - police started with a commercial DJI anti-drone system. That did not work. Then "drone dome" was brought by the UK army. That apparently did work and the drone was grounded. This is in all likelihood the first time ever that system was used in a non-military context, so it's reasonable for the operation to take some time.
