Chilean police have announced the recovery of three watches that belonged to Keanu Reeves, known for his role in “John Wick.” Among the watches was a Rolex worth $9,000 that was believed to have been stolen from the actor’s residence in Los Angeles towards the end of 2023.
One of the recovered items is a Rolex Submariner watch that had the actor’s first name engraved on it, along with the inscriptions “2021, JW4, thank you, The John Wick Five.” This watch was found last Saturday in eastern Santiago as part of a police operation related to a series of local thefts.
In 2021, Reeves reportedly gifted Rolex Submariners to the stuntmen he worked with on “John Wick: Chapter 4.”
The watch has a price of around $9,000, according to Rolex’s website.
It is somewhat ironic that the “John Wick” film series, in which Reeves plays the role of a former assassin seeking vengeance following a break-in at his home where his dog is killed, is mirrored in this real-life incident of theft and recovery of his belongings.
Chilean authorities said they had found jewelry and “valuable” watches during raids on four houses, with at least one of the timepieces “belonging to a famous actor who was victim of a robbery in Los Angeles in December 2023.”
CNN Chile, citing local police, reported that a total of three watches recovered in the raids belong to the actor. It said Chilean authorities were working with US officials on the case and that this had helped them link the watch to the 2023 burglary at the actor’s home.
Police said they have arrested a 21-year-old man.
CNN has reached out to Reeves’ representatives for comment.
The actor has been the victim of home robberies several times. In 2014, his home was reportedly invaded twice in three days.
