Shop to stop knife sales after antisocial behaviour incidents

A shop in Douglas says it's putting more restrictions on the sale of knives - and will wind down its range - in response to antisocial behaviour on the Island.

Lee Watson of Extreme Art & Gadgets says he'll wind down the business's range of pocket, camping and movie knives after recent incidents.

He says this week the store on Duke Street will raise the age for knife sales from 18 to 21 and stop selling them entirely once it sells its current stock.

On Facebook, he says the store may re-evaluate the situation and reintroduce stock in future, but its 21 age limit will remain in place.
