Harky Sahota, store manager at TJ’s Premier, Woolwich, London told Talking Retail: “One of my regular customers is an anti-knife crime campaigner and he convinced me to get one. They now have them installed at quite a few locations around here”
“We have hung it behind the counter where it can be clearly seen.”

That customer and campaigner is Ryan Bidiss of Protect Our Children Patrol (@pocpatrol21), the knife and weapons amnesty based in Woolwich, covering London and Kent.
The kit is accessible Monday to Sunday 6am-10pm.
Independent Retail News and sister website TalkingRetail.com launched a campaign earlier this year to get the nation’s 33,000 independent convenience stores to sign up to install one of the packs on their premises.
