Kevin Thomas estimates at least 40 knives, ranging from machetes to hunting blades, were taken in a raid of his Darwin camping shop.

Key points:One recent victim of two break-ins is calling for tougher penalties"Very similar to this sort of thing," he said, explaining the types of knives he says were stolen from his Camping World business in the Darwin suburb of Berrimah overnight."So [I'm] very concerned that these are now out in the community."

All up, Mr Thomas estimates at least 40 knives, ranging from machetes to hunting blades, were taken in the raid. It's the second time in a month Camping World has been broken into, despite Mr Thomas spending almost $25,000 on repairs and increased security measures following the last incident."I've got electric fences, I've got roller doors, I've got cameras, I've got alarms, I've got caretakers."

The latest incident is one of more than 2,600 commercial break-ins across the Northern Territory over the past year.
