Man charged after ‘£300,000 worth of jewellery’ stolen from Raheem Sterling’s house
A man has been charged after £300,000 worth of jewellery and watches were reportedly stolen from Chelsea star Raheem Sterling’s home.
His property in Oxshott, Surrey, was targeted while he was on international duty at the World Cup with England in Qatar.
Sterling had to leave the national team camp and rush back to the UK to be with family after thieves broke in on December 3 last year.
Emiliano Krosi, 23, of Ditton Court Road, Southend-on-Sea, Essex, has been charged with 33 offences of conspiracy to commit burglary.
Surrey Police say he has been remanded in custody and will appear at Guildford Crown Court on September 21.
One of the offences Mr Krosi has been charged with relates to a burglary at an address in Oxshott, Leatherhead, which was reported on the same day Sterling’s house was burgled.
Earlier this month, police said all lines of inquiry had been pursued and the matter would ‘sit on file’ pending any new information coming to light, according to the BBC.
Offices said the victim had been made aware of the decision.
Speaking at the time, England manager Gareth Southgate said: ‘Sometimes football isn’t the most important thing and family should come first.’
Captain Harry Kane had also said: ‘Our thoughts are with him and his family.
‘It is a private matter with him, but it’s never easy to see one or your teammates and friends have to deal with something like that.’
Sterling returned to the Middle East nation for England’s quarter-final clash with France on December 10, 2022 and was brought as a 79th-minute substitute.
He was unable to prevent the Three Lions from crashing out of the competition after Olivier Giroud scored to make it 2-1 for the eventual runners-up and Kane blazed a crucial late penalty over the bar.
