Keanu Reeves, the renowned actor famous for “The Matrix” and “John Wick,” experienced a theft at his Los Angeles home in 2023 when his collection of luxury watches was stolen. Recently, these items surfaced 5600 miles away in Chile, offering a chance for recovery.
In late 2023, burglars targeted Reeves’ residence around Christmas. However, Santiago law enforcement now believes they have located the stolen jewellery.
CNN reports that officials have recovered a $9,000 Rolex Submariner, a gift commemorating his role in “John Wick,” and three other valuable watches.
Authorities in Chile have detained a 21-year-old male suspect linked to the robbery. It remains uncertain if he was directly involved or ended up with the items later.

This successful recovery involved collaborative efforts between Chilean and U.S. officials, who traced the items back to the break-in at Reeves’ home.
The Los Angeles Police Department notes that this incident marks the third burglary at Reeves’ property. Previously, in September 2014, a woman was arrested twice for attempted break-ins at his home and subsequently sent to a medical facility.
