Home Bargains, a British variety store and garden centre chain, is one of the UK's fastest growing discount retailers.
It was founded in 1976 by Tom Morris in Liverpool.
The retailer is cracking down on shoplifting by bringing in a major change to self-checkouts.
Home Bargains is deploying AI cameras that will automatically spot items leaving the shop that haven't been scanned.
If anyone leaves the store after using the self-checkout, without having scanned a product, the hi-tech cameras will flag to staff that something is being stolen.
Home Bargains is collaborating with tech firm SAI, Storewide Active Intelligence and AI-business Everseen to install the software into its CCTV.
SAI described the technology as converting regular security cameras into "specialised and capable in-store AI assistants."
As of right now, there are only four Home Bargains branches with self-checkout services.

Poundland is shutting 15 stores in just HOURS after unveiling tranche of closures – is one going near you?
Scroll to see the full list of closures SALE AWAY Poundland is shutting 15 stores in just HOURS after unveiling tranche of closures – is one going near you? POUNDLAND will be shutting a further 15 stores in a matter of hours in another tranche of closures for the budget retailer. This comes after the beloved British store confirmed it would be shuttering 48 locations this month. 2 Poundland will be shuttering a further 15 stores in a matter of hours Credit: Alamy 2 The budget retailer is set to close more stores later this month Credit: Splash Advertisement Huge clearance sales have been well underway this week, with shoppers bagging items for as little as 50p ahead of the closures. Tomorrow, 15 branches are expected to permanently cease trading, in what is a massive blow for its customers and for UK high streets. The closures come as Polish owner Pepco Group sold Poundland to a US investment firm Gordon Brothers for £1 after a downturn in trading. Major restructuring plans have followed which include the closure of a whopping 68 stores by mid-October. Advertisement Among the stores closing tomorrow are branches in Sunderland, Poole, and Falmouth. Other sites across Newcastle, Coventry and Canterbury will also cease trading later this month. These closures follow the shuttering of ten stores earlier this month. Darren MacDonald, retail director at Poundland, said: "While our anticipated network of around 650-700 stores remains sizeable, it is of course, sincerely regrettable that we're closing a number of stores to allow us to get us back on track. Advertisement "We entirely understand how disappointing it will be for customers when a store nearby closes, but we look forward to continuing to welcome them to one of our other locations. "Work is underway to with colleagues through a formal consultation process in stores scheduled to close, exploring any suitable alternative roles." Poundland to be sold for JUST £1 as frontrunner for shock takeover is revealed after wave of store closures The following Poundland stores will close permanently on August 17: Bedford Bidston Moss Broxburn Craigavon Dartmouth East Dulwich Falmouth Hull St Andrews Newtonabbey Perth Poole Sunderland Stafford Thornaby Worcester An additional 12 locations will shut on August 24: Brigg Canterbury Coventry Newcastle Kings Heath Peterborough Peterlee Rainham Salford Sheldon Wells Whitechapel Finally, on August 31, the following branches will also close: Advertisement Blackburn Cookstown Erdington Kimberley Kimberley Shopping Centre, Nottingham Horsham Hull Holderness Kettering Omagh Shepherds Bush Southport Taunton Currently, Poundland operates 800 stores nationwide, but the company hopes to significantly reduce this number to between 650 and 700. This includes the 68 stores closing as part of the restructuring, as well as additional stores shutting when leases expire and are not renewed. These restructuring plans were outlined in June by the investment firm Gordon Brothers. This came after the company was sold to the firm that month as part of a deal that included major restructuring and an £80million cash injection. Plans include the shuttering of a total of 68 sites, as well as the closure of its frozen and digital distribution centre in Darton, South Yorkshire, later this year. Advertisement The firm also plans to shut its national distribution centre in Bilston, West Midlands, by early 2026. Poundland will also stop selling products online and focus on expanding its womenswear and seasonal ranges. These changes, except for the 49 store closures, are still subject to High Court approval later this month. Poundland was put up for auction in March by its previous owner, Pepco, after the brand experienced weak sales. The Polish company reported a 6.5% decline in Poundland's revenue, dropping to £830million for the six months to March compared to the previous year. Advertisement Pepco cited "highly challenging trading conditions" for the drop, with Poundland facing struggles across all product categories and experiencing 18 net store closures during that period.

Shoppers rush to snap up 'excellent' 7ft paddling pool for £4.75 in heatwave
With the warm weather returning across most of the country, shoppers are on the hunt for ways to keep everyone cool and, for many, a paddling pool is at the top of the list. While summer holidays often see expenses skyrocket, bargain hunters have spotted a way to secure a highly-rated option ideal for families and even pets at a fraction of its usual price. Bestway's 7ft inflatable paddling pool usually costs £20 at Argos but thanks to a smart deal stack shoppers can grab one for 76% off the regular price, taking the final cost to less than £5. The money-saving website TopCashback offers a £15 free bonus to anyone who registers as a new member plus cashback on qualifying purchases at thousands of British online retailers including Argos. By signing up and then purchasing the paddling pool shoppers can effectively get it for £4.75 once the bonus and cashback are paid. With temperatures expected to reach up to 31 degrees Celsius in parts of the country this weekend and longer range forecasts suggesting more to come through the month, shoppers are being tempted by deals on everything from budget ice cream makers and cooling blankets to a £35 air conditioning unit to tackle the temperatures. However, especially if you have children to entertain during the summer holidays, paddling pools are a popular method to keep everyone cool as the mercury rises and many shoppers have been rushing to snap up some of the best deals. Amazon has slashed the price of a round 6ft Intex paddling pool by 37%, bringing it down to £16.29. This can be delivered tomorrow for those who have Amazon Prime delivery, reports Nottinghamshire Live. Meanwhile, all Argos paddling pools can be click and collected within an hour of purchase, not just the family-friendly Bestway option available with the £5 deal, but others including the brand's current number one best seller, the 9ft Ocean Lagoon pool which is currently half price at £15. Returning to the Bestway pool, which can effectively be bagged for £4.75, shoppers have praised it as being 'perfect' for warm weather, boasting a capacity of 400 litres and taking around five minutes to inflate and deflate thanks to two interlocking quick-release air valves. As well as being suitable for families, some reviewers have even posted photos of their pets enjoying a dip alongside their reviews. The pool comes with a repair kit, although it does not include an air pump. On the Argos website, the pool has a rating of 4.6 stars out of five based on 873 reviews, with 91% of shoppers stating they would recommend it to a friend. Reviewers commend it for its size, ease of setup and value for money. However, some shoppers question its durability. One five star reviewer described the pool as 'excellent value for money' even at the full £20 price, adding: "This is probably the best thing I have ever bought. Big enough for both my kids and their toys. Even had repair patches with it but I have not needed them yet." A second shopper described it as 'great,' adding: "I bought this at the last heatwave and it was worth every penny. My two godchildren spent two whole days in it and had so much fun - gave their mum a well earned break. I would definitely recommend this - I got the 7ft one and it was plenty big enough with a four and eight year old in it together." The pool wasn't just popular with children, with another shopper adding: "It's such a good size, good for kids when the weather is hot and also good to sunbathe in." Another customer praised the price, even without the Top Cashback bonus: "The price was very competitive as pools are usually cheaper at places like Home Bargains. I also like that I could collect it straight away." However, not all customers were entirely satisfied, with some noting that it was marginally smaller than the 7ft described in the product name, with the actual inflated dimensions measuring 6ft 11 by 52 inches by 18 inches (or 2.11m by 1.32m by 46cm). One customer commented: "Bought a month ago. Used once so far by my 4 year old grandson. He enjoyed it. The only thing I would say is that the sides are very chunky so the actual inside of the pool is smaller than I thought it would be." Here's how to snag a paddling pool for just £4.75 with TopCashback:. Firstly, sign up as a new member at TopCashback for free via this link. Then, search for Argos on the site, click through and purchase the pool as normal. The £15 cashback bonus will be triggered when shoppers spend £15 or more on any item - including the paddling pool or anything else on the site, whether it's in the sale or at full price. It will appear in the TopCashback 'Earnings page' within seven days of your purchase.
