Detectives investigating a break-in at Raheem Sterling’s Surrey home have arrested two men.

The pair arrested following an attempted burglary in Oxshott, Surrey, on Tuesday night, and were held in custody. Police are looking into whether there are any links with the break-in in Cobham, Surrey, on Saturday night.

Sterling came home from the World Cup after the raid at his mansion.

The player’s fiancée Paige Millian, 27 — who was looking after their two children — raised the alarm after noticing watches and jewellery worth £300,000 were missing.

Sterling told FA chiefs he needed to get home to support his family

News that he’d left the squad broke shortly before the last-16 clash with Senegal.

A Surrey Police statment said: “Two men were arrested on suspicion of attempted burglary last night (6 December) in the Oxshott area. They are currently in custody.”

“Following reports of suspicious activity around 6.40pm, a number of resources were deployed, including the dog unit and the police helicopter. Our colleagues from British Transport Police also provided assistance.

“Enquiries remain ongoing to establish whether there are any links between these arrests and the break-in reported to us over the weekend.”
