Chilean authorities have transferred six stolen luxury watches from Keanu Reeves’ Los Angeles home to the FBI, marking a significant step in the recovery of stolen property. The six watches, valued at $125,000, include a Rolex worth at least $9,500. The FBI is set to return the items to the Canadian actor, best known for his performances in ‘John Wick’ and ‘The Matrix.’
The watches were recovered during police raids in Santiago, Chile, which also uncovered a range of stolen goods, including iPhones, cars, designer purses, and luxury watches. The case is part of a broader investigation into a series of high-profile burglaries targeting American luxury homes. While the connection between Reeves’ stolen watches and other burglaries is still under investigation, the transfer underscores the international nature of transnational crime and the collaborative efforts between law enforcement agencies.
Police in Chile announced in April that 23 citizens linked to the string of burglaries had been arrested, according to the AP. The announcement comes as Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem visits the South American country for meetings with officials about issues like transnational crime. In April, Noem experienced a similar incident, when her purse was stolen at a Washington restaurant by a Chilean national who was in the U.S. illegally, according to the AP.
A spokesperson for Keanu Reeves did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment. The incident highlights the growing concern over transnational crime and the need for international cooperation to address such crimes. As investigations continue, the case serves as a reminder of the vulnerabilities of high-profile individuals and the importance of global collaboration in law enforcement efforts.
