Chilean authorities say they have recovered an engraved Rolex watch believed to have been stolen from actor Keanu Reeves’s Los Angeles home in December 2023.
“A watch belonging to a famous movie actor, the victim of a robbery in Los Angeles,” was among the more than a dozen watches recovered, police said.
Reeves, who played the titular character in the “John Wick” film franchise, gifted customized Rolex Submariner watches to the four stunt performers he worked with on “John Wick: Chapter 4,” which premiered in theaters in March 2023.
“Along with our counterparts in the United States, through Interpol, it was determined that he was a victim of theft in his home in 2023 when he lost nearly $7 million.”
Officers with the PDI arrested a 21-year-old man during the Peñalolén raid, though his identity has not yet been released.
Dibarrat told TVN that the suspect claimed at the time of his arrest that his brother had been the perpetrator of the theft of Reeves’s engraved watch.
String of Break-Ins
Chilean authorities believe the stolen watches were taken from Reeves’s Hollywood Hills residence in the fall of 2023.The suspects, who wore ski masks, reportedly made off with jewelry and a firearm.
Reeves was not at home when the burglary occurred.
The “Matrix” star was at home during the first break-in, which occurred on Sept. 12, 2014. Police detained a woman in her 40s, who was transported to a medical facility for evaluation.
Reeves’s home was burglarized by a different woman three days later. She was also taken to a medical facility for evaluation.
According to the petition, the man had allegedly “engaged in an ongoing course of alarming and harassing/threatening conduct” between November 2022 and January 2023.
In the documents, Reeves claimed the man made six “unwanted appearances” at his home.
On one occasion, the man allegedly left behind a “suspicious and alarming backpack” containing a DNA testing kit, which the man reportedly intended to use to prove that he and the actor were related.
