    Tuesday, 6 November 2018 - 5 minutes

    According to new analysis from Churchill Home Insurance, each year there are approximately 9,800 burglary insurance claims made during November across the UK.

    November sees an average of 325 burglary insurance claims per day, more than a third (37%) higher than claims in July when there are on average 238 claims per day.

    This increase in crime coincides with the clocks going back, as November sees just 8 hours and 39 minutes of sunlight every day, nearly two hours less than the average for October (10 hours, 31 minutes).

    To tell us more we were joined by TV presenter and home security expert, Michael Fraser.
