Chilean Police Recover Stolen Watches Belonging to Keanu Reeves
In a dramatic turn of events, Chilean police have successfully retrieved three watches that belonged to Hollywood actor Keanu Reeves, known for his role in the “John Wick” franchise. Among the recovered items is a prestigious $9,000 Rolex Submariner that was believed to have been stolen from Reeves’ residence in Los Angeles back in late 2023.
The Rolex Submariner, adorned with the actor’s first name and a special inscription referencing the “John Wick” film series, was found during a police operation in eastern Santiago. This breakthrough came as part of a larger crackdown on local theft rings.
It’s worth noting that Reeves is not new to gifting luxury watches. In 2021, he reportedly presented Rolex Submariners to the stunt performers he collaborated with on “John Wick: Chapter 4.” The watch in question carries a hefty price tag of approximately $9,000, as listed on Rolex’s official website.
Ironically, the essence of the “John Wick” saga revolves around the protagonist, played by Reeves, embarking on a vengeful journey following a break-in at his home, robbery, and the tragic loss of his beloved dog.
Authorities in Chile disclosed that valuable jewelry and watches were seized during raids on multiple properties, with one particular timepiece being linked to a prominent actor who fell victim to a burglary in Los Angeles towards the end of 2023.
CNN Chile reported that a total of three watches recovered during the operations are associated with Reeves. The collaboration between Chilean and US law enforcement agencies proved instrumental in establishing the connection between the watch and the burglary incident at the actor’s residence.
As a breakthrough in the case, a 21-year-old suspect has been apprehended by the authorities. CNN has reached out to Reeves’ representatives for their input on the matter.
This unfortunate incident adds to the list of home break-ins that Reeves has endured over the years. In 2014, his residence was reportedly targeted twice within a span of three days. — CNN
