Footballer Raheem Sterling left England's national team during the World Cup in Qatar and returned home after intruders broke into his family place.

Surrey Police told CNN on Monday that it is investigating into a burglary at an address in Oxshott, Leatherhead after the occupants returned home from an international trip.

A number of items, including jewelry and watches, had been stolen, according to the police’s statement.

“Officers attended the address later that night and returned to speak to the occupants this morning,” the police said. “At this time it remains unclear on which date the property was stolen and establishing this forms a key part of our investigation.

The statement added: “Enquiries into the full circumstances remain ongoing and officers will look at all available evidence including any CCTV opportunities.”

Earlier, CNN reported that armed intruders broke into Sterling’s home while his family was inside.

Surrey Police noted: “We are aware of media reports stating there were armed suspects involved, however, at this time, we would reassure our communities that no witnesses have come forward to this effect and there are no reports of any threats of violence linked to this incident.”
