Keanu Reeves set to receive stolen Rolex watches from Chilean police

Keanu Reeves is to be reunited with six of his Rolex watches stolen from his Hollywood Hills home in Los Angeles during a string of high-profile thefts across the United States in December 2023.

The luxury timepieces, worth an estimated €110,000, turned up in the Chilean capital, Santiago, were discovered several months ago when police raided several homes and found items including stolen cars, iPhones and designer purses.

That operation coincided with another Chilean investigation, coordinated with the US Federal Bureau of Investigation, into a spate of burglaries by South America-based crime groups targeting multimillion-dollar homes in the U.S, many belonging to celebrities and professional athletes, such as Kansas City Chiefs football star Travis Kelce.

Chilean authorities announced they’re returning the goods to the US Federal Bureau of Investigation as the US Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem was in the country to discuss transnational crime.

Noem herself was victim of a theft in April, allegedly committed by a Chilean national illegally residing in the US, when her purse was stolen at a Washington restaurant.

The FBI will arrange for the watches return to Reeves, best known for his roles in action franchises like The Matrix and John Wick.

Chilean police say they are still investigating any link between the theft of Reeves’ watches and the other high-profile burglaries.
