Norwich Union highlights increased risk of burglary during the festive period...
New Year's Eve is the festive season's worst day for burglary, according to Norwich Union claims data. Homes are 25% more likely to be burgled on 31 December than on a normal day as thieves take advantage of partygoers who leave their homes unoccupied and full of expensive gifts.
What's more, the cost of a burglary over the festive season can be up to £350 higher than on a normal day due to all the extra goodies in the home, according to the insurer. The average burglary claim is around £1200.
The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.
