Chelsea and England forward Raheem Sterling was left shaken after burglars broke into his Berkshire home on Saturday evening while he and his family were inside, MySportDab Reports.
The 30-year-old winger, who has been frozen out of Chelsea’s first-team squad this season, was at home with his partner Paige Milian and their children when intruders entered the luxury property around 5:30 p.m. GMT.
Reports suggest the robbers were disturbed — with Sterling reportedly confronting them — before fleeing the scene without taking anything.
A representative for Sterling confirmed the incident, describing it as “the ultimate violation of privacy and safety,” while adding that the family was unharmed. “We are thankful to confirm that Raheem and his loved ones are all safe,” the statement said.
Thames Valley Police also confirmed they are investigating the break-in and have urged anyone with information to come forward.
This marks at least the third time Sterling has been targeted by burglars. His Surrey home was robbed in December 2022 while he was with the England squad at the World Cup in Qatar, prompting him to fly home before the quarter-final against France.
Jewellery and watches worth around £300,000 were stolen. In 2018, thieves also attempted to break into his former Cheshire residence but fled when the alarm system was triggered.
Sterling joined Chelsea from Manchester City in 2022 and spent last season on loan at Arsenal. After failing to secure a move away during the summer, he has been training separately from the first team under new manager Enzo Maresca.
Despite his off-field ordeal, the forward and his family are said to be safe and receiving support, as police continue their investigation into the latest attempted burglary.
