Autumn is here, and with it comes the increased likelihood of being burgled.
Burglaries increase by an average of 160% in October, and with the onset of autumn, nights drawing in and the mornings getting darker, it’s no surprise.
The Co-op Insurance research revealed that there is an alarming spike in home break-ins and property damage in the months following the clocks going back. The research attributes the 36% increase in burglaries to the fact that intruders find it easier to hide under the cover of darkness, as well as finding it easier to spot empty properties as they do not have the lights on.
October is National Home Security Month so there’s no better time to address the security of your home and loved ones, and with the Halloween and Bonfire Night period seeing burglaries increase by an average of 160%, it’s time to take action!
