In a twist to an ongoing robbery investigation in Santiago, Chile, authorities have recovered a stolen Rolex watch belonging to renowned actor Keanu Reeves.
Chilean police, conducting a probe into a series of violent thefts in the capital, made an unexpected discovery when they came across valuable items, including jewelry and watches. Among the seized items was the distinctive Rolex engraved with personal messages, further confirming its ownership by Reeves. The watch was inscribed with ‘THE JOHN WICK FIVE’ along with ‘KEANU THANK YOU JW4 2021’, solidifying its connection to the actor known for his roles in ‘John Wick’, ‘Speed’, and ‘The Matrix’.
The arrest in Santiago’s eastern district led to a significant breakthrough in the investigation, the Investigations Police of Chile announced on social media platform X. They highlighted that a suspect, allegedly involved in violent robberies, was detained, leading to the recovery of several high-value stolen items.
The Los Angeles Police Department was reportedly in cooperation with Chilean authorities to facilitate the return of the watch to Reeves. As of now, there are no further updates from Los Angeles law enforcement regarding the ongoing investigation into the burglary at Reeves’ residence.
Reports from last year indicated that Reeves’ Los Angeles home was burglarized, during which this Rolex was among the items stolen. A gun was reportedly also taken during this incident. The incident underscores a troubling trend of high-profile burglaries in the area.
Attempts to reach Reeves for comment have been unsuccessful, and his representatives have not issued any statements regarding the recovery of the watch.
This unusual recovery of Keanu Reeves’ engraved Rolex in Chile marks a key moment in international cooperation between law enforcement agencies. The ongoing investigations in both Santiago and Los Angeles highlight the complexities involved in tracking stolen high-profile items across borders.
