Chilean authorities have recovered six expensive watches stolen from Keanu Reeves’ Los Angeles home in December 2023, including a Rolex valued at $9,500, officials in Santiago announced.
The recovered timepieces, worth approximately $125,000, were handed over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), which is arranging their return to Reeves.
TMZ reported that the recovery resulted from a joint operation between Chilean police and the FBI targeting a South American-based burglary ring that targeted the homes of prominent celebrities like Reeves and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
