Surrey Police have disclosed that they are actively pursuing three Albanian individuals believed to be connected to a burglary that took place at Raheem Sterling's residence

last year. The suspects are also suspected of involvement in 32 other house raids, extending beyond the Chelsea star's home in Oxshott, Surrey, where valuables worth £300,000 were reported stolen.

The individuals in question are Alfred Isufi, aged 48, Gerard Kalaja, aged 22, and Henri Osmani, aged 44. Authorities are seeking to question them regarding the total of 33 burglaries, which spanned Surrey, Essex, Kent, and Hertfordshire and resulted in an estimated £1 million in losses.

This development follows the recent charging of Emiliano Krosi, aged 23, from Southend-on-Sea, who faces 33 charges of conspiracy to commit burglary in relation to the same burglary spree. Krosi is set to appear at Guildford Crown Court on September 21.

Notably, the burglary at Sterling's residence occurred while he was participating in the World Cup, prompting his return to the UK. The shocking incident led to his absence from a significant match, with the reason cited as a "family matter." This decision was communicated to the players shortly before the team meeting before their last 16 clash, and Sterling subsequently flew back to the UK. However, there was no specified timeline for his return.

Detective Inspector James Ansell has revealed that an appeal will be made on BBC Crime Watch in the coming weeks to aid in the ongoing investigation. All three suspects reportedly have connections to Harlow, Essex, and north London and are believed to remain within the UK. Ansell emphasized that investigating burglaries is a top priority for Surrey Police, and they remain committed to pursuing the offenders relentlessly.
