A Birmingham grocery store got slapped with a £4,000 fine after a new employee sold six kitchen knives to a 15-year-old during a council sting operation. Despite prior warnings and a logbook for age checks, the store and the 25-year-old employee, Mohammed Anwari, both pleaded guilty. Anwari, working his first shift, admitted he didn’t verify the teen’s age. The store director claimed he’d trained Anwari for four days and now plans to stop selling knives entirely. Anwari was fined £200, while the company absorbed the rest plus court costs — a cautionary tale that even with procedures, mistakes carry serious consequences.
