Canadian actor, Keanu Reeves’ stolen John Wick Rolex has been retrieved after cops bust a celeb heist ring targeting NFL star Travis Kelce.
In 2023, the 60-year-old action star was not home when a group of masked thieves broke into his Los Angeles mansion, ransacked the property, and made off with valuables, including a nearly $10,000 Rolex engraved with a tribute to John Wick.
In a wild twist, six of Keanu’s watches were recovered last year during a sting in Santiago, Chile, part of a joint operation between Chilean police and the FBI to take down a South America-based burglary crew targeting celebrity homes, including Reeves and Taylor Swift’s NFL boyfriend, Travis Kelce, per TMZ.
The Rolex was etched with a personal message: ‘2021, JW4, thank you, The John Wick Five.’
Reeves had reportedly gifted the watch to crew members after filming John Wick: Chapter 4 as a token of appreciation.
On Wednesday, Chilean officials handed over $125,000 worth of recovered jewelry to the FBI, who are working to return the goods to the actor, according to the outlet.
Also recovered in the sting: stolen cars, iPhones, and a stash of designer purses.
Despite the heightened security measures, the 2023 break-in rattled Reeves and his team.
Authorities believe the burglars were after more than just valuables, they reportedly made off with a firearm along with other items.
The incident wasn’t the first time Reeves’ Hollywood Hills estate was targeted; a similar attempt happened back in 2014, underscoring ongoing security concerns.
Earlier that year, Reeves had already taken legal steps to protect himself, securing a temporary restraining order against Bryan Dixon, an alleged stalker who repeatedly showed up at his property.
Surveillance footage captured Dixon trespassing six times over a two-month span, including moments when he climbed over walls, smoked in the garden, and even fell asleep in the backyard before being removed.
The actor responded by hiring a private security firm to monitor the estate, but despite their efforts, the risks remained, culminating in that unsettling December night.
The suspect returned the next morning, leaving a ‘suspicious and alarming’ backpack on the property.
It included a DNA testing kit ‘apparently intended to use on Mr. Reeves in a delusional attempt to prove they are blood-related.’
Reeves’ LA home was also the scene of back-to-back intruders in 2014.
At the time, a female intruder reportedly wandered into Reeves’ home and was discovered by a cleaning team after she stripped off and jumped in the pool.
The actor was not at the property when the incident occurred.
