*Those artefacts are exactly why Arthur is here himself. Well. Officially, on paper, they're why he's here. And it is true that premises with pronounced anti-Muggle sentiments tend to have anti-Muggle objects, and the best way to fool a Muggle into hurting his or herself is to give them something that looks perfectly ordinary. Just last month on a raid they'd turned up a box of batteries that'd been jinxed to shock whoever tried using them. (Arthur may or may not have kept a few to tinker with.)
On paper, that's why he's here, and he's perfectly within his jurisdiction. In reality, he couldn't pass up the chance to get one over on Lucius Malfoy, and he's doing a worse job than Gideon of concealing his excitement, bouncing a little on the balls of his feet as they wait for the door to be opened, trying very hard not to smile.*
