SantiagoMonths after finding them during a police raid, Chilean authorities announced on Tuesday that they had turned over six pricey timepieces that were taken from Canadian actor Keanu Reeves, including an inscribed Rolex valued at at least $9,500, to the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Known for his performances in action franchises like and, the FBI will make arrangements for their repatriation. According to Chilean prosecutors, Reeves recognized the timepieces as ones that had been taken from his Los Angeles residence during a series of high-profile break-ins in December 2023.

The declaration came as Kristi Noem, a member of the Trump administration, arrived in the South American nation to engage with Chilean officials on a number of topics.
In April of last year, Noem was robbed at a restaurant in Washington when she was living illegally in the United States.
According to Marcelo Varas, a police officer from Chile’s robbery investigation unit, Reeves’ six watches are worth a total of $125,000.
When police raided homes and found stolen automobiles, iPhones, luxury watches, and designer purses, they found the watches that had been taken from Reeves’ mansion in the capital of Chile, Hollywood Hills.
That operation took place at the same time as another Chilean investigation, which was coordinated with the FBI, into a series of burglaries committed by South American criminal organizations, many of which were committed by professional athletes and celebrities like Travis Kelce.
Chilean police reported in April that 23 persons had been arrested in connection with the spate of break-ins.
Authorities are still looking into any connection between the Reeves watch theft and the other well-publicized break-ins, Varas added.
