6 June is day for largest number of home burglaries

Saga Home Insurance has warned that D-day – 6 June – is the day of the year when the highest number of home burglaries are reported by its customers.

It says June is a vulnerable time because many over 50s go on holiday then to avoid the school holiday price hikes, or go out in the evenings, taking advantage of the longer, sunnier days. Empty homes lead to robberies.

But the number of home theft claims made by the Saga customers has decreased by 18%.

Saga has a Guide to Home Security with top tips for customers to protect their home.

The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.

Many congratulations to all the worthy winners and as always, huge thanks to our sponsors for their support and our judges for their expertise.
