This could be a double definition.

'struck' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with contact as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'pocketed' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with ownership as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'by' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for swiped that I've seen before include "Hit with swinging blow, or slangily stole" , "credit card may be processed thus" , "Nicked (sl.)" , "Struck; stolen" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
