Better security more effective than vigilantism, warns insurer
Homeowners have been urged to improve the security of their home rather than attempting to tackle would-be burglars physically.
Virgin Money was moved to issue its advice to homeowners in the wake of a study that showed that many homeowners are failing to take basic security precautions.
The poll found that just 17 per cent of people have an alarm and only 37 per cent of people own window locks.
Meanwhile, 92 per cent of the sample said they would be prepared to physically defend their home against intruders.
Grant Bather, spokesperson at Virgin Money said: "Relying on insurance and simple security measures are the best ways to protect yourself and give peace of mind."
The survey also discovered that just 22 per cent of those quizzed had a contents insurance policy, while 38 per cent had no buildings insurance.
