Did you Know? - Burglaries always increase during the Summer..

Did You Know?

According to 2006-2007 crime statistics published by the Home Office, the number of domestic burglaries in England and Wales has fallen dramatically in the last decade - with a 59% reduction since 1995.

However, the number of burglaries always increases in the summer, as people throw open their windows and doors. Those who leave our shores in search of sunnier climes are also at risk, as they leave their homes unoccupied for days – sometimes weeks – at a time.

Police forces across the country are warning residents to be vigilant and keep doors and windows locked, especially at night. They are also advising holidaymakers to take measures to hide their absence, cancelling milk and papers and perhaps investing in timer switches so that one or two interior lights come on for a set period every evening.

With this in mind, now might be a good time to upgrade the security of your home by replacing your old windows and doors – visit www.windowquoter.co.uk to find competitive quotes in your area. That way all you need to worry about this summer is the weather!
