TRADERS in Plymouth have been caught selling knives and over-18 games to young people in an under-cover operation by Trading Standards, reported by the website of this is plymouth.co.uk.
The details are as below:
...
Fair Trading Officer Lynda Braddock, who led the operation, said: \"The statistics for knife sales are encouraging but it\'s still disappointing to find some shops not on board with this issue especially bearing in mind the media coverage on knife crime in recent months.\"
\"And we\'re disappointed that the games sellers concerned don\'t seem to have taken their training on board or recognised the fact that these games are given a high age rating for a reason.\"
Officers targeted officially classified 18-rated games where the content was listed as containing \"strong violence\". They included the much publicised Grand Theft Auto game which carries a warning about \"strong violence, very strong language, sex and drugs references\'\".
Councillor Michael Leaves, Cabinet Member for Streetscene and Environmental Regulation, said: \"Parents will be worried about these test purchase results. The carrying of knives by some young people seems to be a plague at the moment. It\'s vital for shops not to sell youngsters knives and I find it very disappointing that any in Plymouth have done so.
\"As for violent video games, I believe they must have a detrimental influence on any children who play them and I would not be at all surprised if there was not a connection with the knife crime issue. Everyone who sells these games must take extra care to ensure they only sell them to those who can legally buy them.\"
As if new races, worlds, cities, dungeons, mounts, and professions weren't enough, the expansion will also enhance the game with a wide number of small innovations that will add up to a significantly improved gaming experience. From the new Looking for Group feature to the updated Character Sheet to an incredible number of new enemy models, the game millions around the world are enjoying is about to become even better.
