Neighbours on the Surrey estate where England star Raheem Sterling lives today suggested a burglary at his home was an ‘inside job’ by contractors as they revealed ‘no alarms’ were set off during the raid.
Thieves broke into the father of three’s £6million gated home before making off with a stash of watches and jewellery – prompting the shocked star to race home from Qatar to be with his family.
Police were contacted around 9pm on Saturday December 3 after Sterling’s family returned to find ‘a number of items including jewellery and watches’ had been stolen.
Sterling is said by insiders to have been ‘shaken’ by the incident while a number of fellow England players are reviewing their own security.
Another neighbour told MailOnline they were convinced it was an ‘inside job’ as she revealed how a string of builders and removal vans had been at the house.
She said: ‘I came back from an overnight flight on Saturday night just after 9pm and the police were outside.
‘The estate WhatsApp group lit up and we all knew very quick it was a break-in and thankfully no one was hurt.
‘I’ve only seen him once walking his dogs, but I’ve seen the family and they are very young. I do feel desperately sorry for them as they have only just moved in.
‘They had dozens of removals vans, builders and electricians trooping in and out a few weeks ago and they all knew the access codes. I’m sure it’s an inside job and the codes have been passed around because people would have been talking. How else would anyone know he was there?’
