Is your home safe from burglars this Christmas?

Christmas is a busy time for burglars - presents are left on show and families are out of their homes more often.

It's important to deter burglars from your property by not putting presents on display, strategically leaving lights on and checking your home is secure.

However it is also important to take out protection so you are covered should the worst happen.
