Pret A Manger Trials Body-Worn Cameras in London Shops

The initiative aims to enhance staff safety amid rising incidents of retail crime and violence.

Body-worn cameras are being tested in six Pret A Manger locations across London.
The cameras are worn by team leaders and managers, activated only in specific situations.
Footage from the cameras is accessible exclusively to Pret's security team.
Retail crime, including shoplifting and violence against staff, has surged in the UK.
Other retailers like Tesco and Co-op have also adopted similar measures to protect employees.
