Forcible and violent entry

Theft insurance wording to distinguish theft involving an ‘attack’ on the premises from theft without such an attack. The insurer generally covers theft following upon forcible and violent entry or followed by forcible or violent exit’. The words eliminate shoplifting or entry via an open door. The word ‘violence’ is used in its ordinary sense, meaning that an entry, where force might otherwise have been minimal, should be by a physical act characterised as violent. See FULL THEFT COVER.
