Surrey Police have confirmed that they are investigating a burglary where jewellery and watches were stolen following reports of a break-in at England winger Raheem Sterling ’s home.
But, in a new statement, the force have rejected initial reports that an armed raid took place when the footballer's partner and young children were at home. The Chelsea star flew home from the World Cup yesterday because of what the Football Association said was a "family matter", causing him to miss the round of 16 win against Senegal.
First reports of an incident said that Sterling's family had been at home during the raid but police have said that "no threat of violence was involved" because the stolen items were noticed missing after the burglary. It is unclear when the items were allegedly stolen because, police say, the occupants were out of the country before returning home on Saturday night.
