Norwich Union warns of bonfire burglaries

Homeowners have been warned by Norwich Union to be wary of the threat of burglary this Bonfire Night as instances of break-ins are expected to rise.

According to Norwich Union, claims increase by 50 per cent on November 5th compared to a normal day and the insurer personally sees a rise of 25 per cent in claims on this day.

It is thought that the jump in claims relates to the fact that many people leave their homes on Bonfire Night to go and see firework displays and thieves take advantage of empty homes as a result.

Jason Harris, senior claims manager at Norwich Union, remarked: "Home security is often the last thing on people's minds and we know of many cases where burglars slip through open doors while people are enjoying private firework displays in their back gardens."

"Our advice is to take time to ensure your home is safe and secure before heading out this year," Mr Harris added.

Norwich Union offers customers a 20 per cent discount on their buildings insurance should they not claim after five years of taking out the policy. Also, if both the buildings and contents insurance policies are purchased, there is ten per cent off.
