Raheem Sterling: Police not linking break-ins in Surrey village

Police investigating a break-in at the home of England star Raheem Sterling are not linking it to another attempted burglary in the same village.

Surrey Police said earlier it was looking into whether the two raids in Oxshott were linked - but is now ruling that out "at this time".

Jewellery reported to be worth £300,000 was stolen from the player's home.

Police said no arrests had been made in connection with the burglary at Mr Sterling's property.

In a statement, the force said two men, who remain in custody, were arrested on suspicion of attempted burglary on 6 December in the Oxshott area.

The Chelsea winger, 27, left the England World Cup squad in Qatar and returned to the UK after the burglary.

It is thought Mr Sterling's fiancée, Paige Milian, returned to the couple's home to discover that there had been a break-in.

The footballer is said to have been shaken and concerned about the wellbeing of his children following the incident.

The Football Association offered extensive security guidance to players before leaving for Qatar and has an experienced security team on hand to advise and provide support.
