SURVEY RESULTS SHOW THAT only 16 % of Brits think to burglar proof their front door first to prevent burglary attempts, despite data from England & Wales police showing that 90 % of attempts are successful.
During the period June 2015-May 2016 there were 397,643 recorded burglaries by England & Wales Police forces according to data from the UK police’ s official website.
In 277,300 cases the investigations have been completed and no suspect was identified. 79,625 cases are still under investigation, meaning a staggering 90 % of recorded burglary attempts during this 12-month period, were successful.
With these statistics in mind, Truedor. co. uk surveyed 2,000 people in the United Kingdom to ask them,‘ What do you think is the best deterrent to stop burglaries on your property?’
23 % of those questions came back with Burglar Alarm, followed by CCTV with 20 %. Despite the data from the UK police showing that nine in 10 burglary attempts are successful only 16 % of those surveyed believed that a Secure Door was the number one deterrent for a burglar.
Clive Stewart, Chairman of the Essex County Neighbourhood Watch Association, says:“ There are many households that do not take specific care to lock their PVCu doors sufficiently despite having reminders from the Police.”
