Overview
- Take Back Power says supporters removed boxed non‑perishables from Sainsbury’s, Morrisons and Tesco stores on March 14 and delivered them to food banks or local communities.
- Metropolitan Police said no arrests had been made in London and that officers were told a participant paid for the goods, a claim the group denies.
- The group says some food in London was distributed from a stall set up on supermarket property, arguing no crime occurred because items did not leave the site.
- Actions were reported at Sainsbury’s in Lewisham and Truro, Morrisons on Prince Charles Road in Exeter, and Tesco on Parrs Wood Lane in Didsbury, with security staff intervening at some locations.
- The self-described non-violent civil resistance group, linked in reporting to Just Stop Oil, demands taxing extreme wealth and has signalled further actions after earlier arrests on March 5 for suspected conspiracy to commit theft.
