Burglary Statistics

When it comes to alarms, many people seem to think that burglaries, only happen to their neighbours. The following statistics about burglaries in the UK will make them think again.

Fact 1: – A home is burgled somewhere in the UK every 37 seconds. Not every 37 days or every 37 hours – but every 37 seconds.

Fact 2 – There are more than a million burglaries or attempted burglaries in the country every single year.

Fact 3 – One out of every five households falls prey to burglars more than once a year. Seven percent of households are in fact burgled three or more times a year.

Fact 4 – In the current economic climate there has been a surge in burglaries throughout the UK. The risk of becoming the victim of a burglary is now significantly higher than it was a year or two years ago.

There are two ways to protect you and your family against burglaries. The first is to make sure doors and even windows are locked when you are not at home.

The second, install a modern alarm that follows the triple D code: 

Deters (have a sign in a window or a visible bell box)

Detects (consider sensors on the outside of property - to sound the alarm before a break-in, that incorporates a camera to view the cause of activation)

Deploy (ensure that someone responds to an alarm)

Systems that satisfy the above can be installed in 4 hours, with no mess, no fuss and minimal decor damage.
