TEHRAN, Mar 09 - Walmart-owned British supermarket chain Asda said it will remove single kitchen knives from sale in all its stores by the end of April.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) -Britain’s knife-crime rate is soaring and, following a wave of fatal stabbings in recent weeks, many involving teenagers, Prime Minister Theresa May has convened a meeting of ministers and community leaders to discuss ways of tackling the problem.
“We know single knives are the most common knife products to be stolen and that is why we have chosen to remove these data-x-items from our stores,” Asda Senior Vice President Nick Jones said in a statement.
It is illegal to sell knives to under-18s in Britain.
