This is false. As far as I can tell these numbers were originally spread by right wing american commenters without any data to back it up. But if you actually try to look at this particular issue, you'll find that "entering while occupied" aka "home invasion" aka "hot" burglaries are not defined as their own crimes in most jurisdictions. And if they are (particularly in the US), they are local laws that vary wildly. This means that these numbers are either not tracked at all or thrown in together with a bunch of other crimes. So any country-level number you see on the internet about this special case will be bogus at best.
