Michele Bennett, General Manager at ADT UK&I Subscriber comments: “Our 2023 burglary report found that most burglaries occur at night, more precisely 37.5% in the evening (7 pm-12 am) and a further 15.5% at night (12 am-6 am). Opportunistic thieves prefer to operate under the cover of darkness. So it’s no surprise that the number of burglaries increases when the clocks go back and the nights get longer.”
“Your home is where you feel most secure, yet only one in five of us takes extra security measures when the dark nights draw in. By taking these extra security steps when the clocks go back this year, we can help to reduce the number of burglaries.”
