Top ten burglary hotspots named

People living in some UK cities face almost double the chance of being burgled as those in more secure areas, according to a new report.

Researchers from insurer Endsleigh found that residents in Nottingham are almost twice as likely to make a claim than an average household.

Leeds and Hull were also found to be among other cities where the risk of being burgled is above average.

Guildford, Swindon and Dundee are among the most secure places to live, the insurer said.

The results were collected by analysing burglary claims across the UK over the last four years by people insured by Endsleigh.

The frequency of claims in different UK towns and cities was then compared to the Endsleigh national average.

But Stuart Wartalski, of Endsleigh, said burglary rates are falling in the UK, something reflected in recent Government crime figures.

The places most at risk from burglary were:

1. Nottingham

2. Leeds

3. Hull

4. London

5. Oxford

6. Bristol

7. Reading

8. Manchester

9. Sheffield

10. Cambridge

The places least at risk from burglary were:

1. Guildford

2. Swindon

3. Dundee

4. Bath

5. Coventry

6. Brighton

7. Aberdeen

8. Cheltenham

Joint 9. Edinburgh and Belfast

Don't know - good and bad I suppose, not the best but definitely not the worst.

Though I am surprised to see both Oxford and Cambridge on the list. Whats going on there then?
