Small businesses suffer 10% increase in crime
Crimes against small business have risen for the second six-month period, according to figures from insurance gaint Axa.
The research revealed that there had been a 10% increase in crimes against small firms in the UK, with the number of arson and malicious damage claims rising 23% and 14% respectively.
"Both malicious damage and arson tend to go up in a recession as premises are left unoccupied and unprotected by failed businesses, making them easier targets for vandals," said Gregor Elrick, head of property at Axa.
