Illegal weapons which carry a jail sentence are being sold online for 'pocket money' prices, a consumer watchdog has claimed. Potentially lethal items such as knives, knuckle dusters, swords and batons have all been found widely available on the likes of eBay, Amazon Marketplace and Wish.
A probe by Which? made the shock discovery and highlighted the need for such cyber sellers to take more responsibility for and carry out better checks on what's offered to their customers. Some items were even being sold for as little as 49p - the price of a can of pop.
And the findings are even more disturbing given the current epidemic of knife crime which has left a soaring number of UK teenagers dead. What is more, Which? said the weapons were frightening easy to find.
