Helicopters and a dog unit were deployed following reports of suspicious activity.
Police were looking into possible links with the break-in at the Chelsea star's home in neighbouring village Cobham on Saturday night.
They have since confirmed the two are not being linked at this time.
A spokesman for Surrey Police said: "Two men were arrested on suspicion of attempted burglary last night in the Oxshott area. They are currently in custody.
"Following reports of suspicious activity around 6.40pm, a number of resources were deployed, including the dog unit and helicopter. Our colleagues from British Transport Police also provided assistance.
"At this time these arrests are not being linked to an ongoing investigation into a burglary which received significant media coverage over the weekend.
"That separate investigation remains ongoing. No arrests have been made in connection with that."
Sterling raced back from the World Cup after the raid at his mansion. He was said to be the fourth Chelsea player to be hit by the same gang.
The Three Lions ace was yesterday still deciding if he will return to Qatar for the remainder of the tournament. He has vowed only to return when his family are "safe".
Terrified fiancee Paige Milian, 27 — who was looking after their two kids — raised the alarm when the gang took watches worth £300,000.
Sterling told FA chiefs he had to go home. News that he’d left the squad broke shortly before the last-16 clash with Senegal.
England footballers were told of the break-in during a team meeting hours before kick-off.
And several of his fellow stars are thinking about ramping up their own home and personal security. The team also offered their support to Sterling, 27.
Bukayo Saka revealed his final message before jetting home. Asked about Sterling on Monday, Saka said: "He wished us the best yesterday as he was going back and I’ve messaged him and hopefully he will get back to me later - I am just hoping he and his family are ok."
And skipper Harry Kane is said to be helping to calm other members in the camp who may be concerned about the raid.
A Three Lions source said: "Harry knows the players’ families are really shaken up by what has happened and that is a worry for the players themselves.
"He sees it as his job as skipper to keep the morale of the team up and to focus everyone on the France match."
It is the latest in a string of burglaries targeting footballers.
Sterling has three children in total, two of whom are with Paige.
