Direct Line issues warning over beautiful weather

Direct Line Home Insurance has warned people of the threat of burglars when leaving doors and windows open during periods of good weather.

Andrew Lowe, head of home insurance at the organisation, said he understood the temptation to leave entrances open when the sun comes out, but that people should be aware of the dangers.

He advised locking away ladders and other tools, rather than leaving them in the gardens, as burglars could use them to get in to the house

"People should take extra care to prevent unwanted access to their homes and gardens, as carelessness can lead to rich pickings for opportunistic thieves," he said.

Research by the home insurance firm showed that 37 per cent of burglaries actually happened while householders were still in the house and that August is the second most common month for robberies to take place.

Last month, Direct Line announced that 16 per cent of households had been burgled while residents were away on holiday.
