Every 45 seconds…

Every 45 seconds, an attempted burglary takes place in the UK. Every 76 seconds, the housebreakers are successful.

That’s just one of many scary facts recently released by GJD and IFSEC Global.com which highlight just how prolific the crime is in this country.

Other alarming figures show that in 2011 there were 701,000 recorded burglaries, 41% of which were unsuccessful. That still leaves 59% (that’s 417,000 homes) in which property was damaged and possessions stolen.

With 25m households in the country, that’s still 2% of our homes which were targeted in one single year. Suddenly feeling rather vulnerable?  Well, thankfully, there is something you can do about it.

As a leading security company in Hampshire, Venture Security offers a broad range of services which provide protection and peace of mind for domestic customers. We operate a flexible service on either short or long term contracts, depending on the kind of security care you require.

Think that sounds expensive? Think again. We can perform routine patrols while you’re on holiday from £12/visit (and we’ll keep you fully updated) or if you require something more permanent, we can provide a rapid response team linked to your alarm receiving centre for fast action when it’s needed most.

With the recent report showing that the average cost of a successful break-in costs around £2,500, it’s a shrewd move to reduce the risk of burglary by employing the services of a reliable and licenced security company. What’s more, your insurance premiums may even be reduced by taking extra security measures.
