Summer should be a time where we enjoy ourselves and get outdoors to make the most of the beautiful weather. However, many people are left devastated after returning home to find that the open window they left to allow fresh air in, actually served as an easy point of entry for an intruder.<\/p>

But there are things you can do to ramp up the security of your home or business and these simple measures can have incredible effectiveness. What\u2019s more, with BAC Fire and Security with you at every step of the way, you won\u2019t need to worry about a thing.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

UK Break In Statistics<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The number of break-ins in the UK is astonishing and yet not all home or business owners make enough of an effort to prevent these crimes. But this isn\u2019t out of anything other than a lack of understanding about how prevalent this crime is.<\/p>

For example, when you consider that a burglary happens every 108 seconds in the UK, it is easy to see just how seriously we should be taking this. Going on that thinking, that equates to well over 800 break-ins every day! If you think that it won\u2019t ever happen to you, these statistics suggest that it is far more likely than you might have first thought.<\/p>

What\u2019s more, most people believe that burglars break-in in the dead of night, sneaking around while the rest of the world sleeps. But this image is one that has been fed by movies and TV series. In reality, your home or business is more likely to experience a break in between midday and 4 pm – right there in broad daylight!<\/p>

But what is most astonishing, and quite frankly, frightening, is that for more than half of all break-ins<\/a>, there is somebody currently inside the property. Now in some cases, this may deter the intruder but for those with a little more confidence, the crime could soon escalate to an assault. And this simple isn\u2019t worth it!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Why Do Break-Ins Increase During Summer?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

You could be forgiven for thinking that a break-in wouldn\u2019t be as likely in the summer since the daylight hours are far longer. But as we have already learned, this is not something that deters burglars.<\/p>

The problem is that, in the summer, when the weather is warm, people leave their doors and windows open to allow fresh air to enter. Of course, in an ideal world, this wouldn\u2019t be an issue and you\u2019d feel completely safe. Unfortunately, that isn\u2019t the case and these open doors and windows are almost a welcome mat for intruders.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
