People living in Preston may make a saving on their home insurance after a survey revealed that they are the least likely to be burgled residents in the country.
While those with London addresses are the most at risk, the Lancashire city is rated as the safest in the UK, according to research carried out by home insurance company Endsleigh.
The firm used household theft claims made by its policy-holders over a four-year period to rank areas.
Results showed that Preston residents were around 67% less likely to suffer a break-in than the national average. Norwich and Ipswich came in second and third places.
London homes were found to be 55% more likely to be burgled than the national average, with Nottingham, Bristol and Cambridge properties also presenting a high risk of being broken into.
Endsleigh spokeswoman Rhiannon Harris warned that every householder in the country should be aware of the possibility of burglary. She said: "It's crucial that, as well as helping the success of neighbourhood safety schemes where they can, people across the country remain vigilant when it comes to home security."
