West Mercia Police found three of nine tested stores in Worcester violated age verification rules, while Cheshire officers confirmed two Warrington businesses sold knives to underage individuals during a test-purchase sweep.
Essex launched a broader Responsible Retailers scheme urging stores to enforce age checks, secure knife storage, and report suspicious activity.
