Barclays warns of Xmas robberies

Insurance claims relating to burglaries over the festive season increase by 14 per cent, new research by Barclays Insurance has discovered.

Due to expensive gifts being exchanged across the UK, the cost of the average insurance claim also rises throughout Christmas as the value of home contents increases.

The research undertaken by Barclays Insurance shows that claims in January 2006 stood at an average of £6,263 compared to £4,817 over the course of the previous year.

Mark Till, marketing director at Barclays Insurance, stated: "Christmas should be the time of fun and happiness but it has unfortunately also become a
time of year where more thefts and burglaries are occurring."

He continued: "The least you can do to make sure your Christmas doesn't get spoilt by burglars is to ensure you have sufficient cover in place as part of your home insurance policy."

Subject to terms and conditions, Barclays Insurance offers to knock £100 off the price of people's current home insurance premiums and a £50 bonus for swapping, should their present deal be cheaper than Barclays' quote.
