Chilean authorities had previously reported that they would transfer the stolen items, including six high-value watches, to U.S. officials. The collection includes an engraved Rolex Submariner valued at over $9,500. According to Chile’s robbery investigation squad, the combined worth of the watches totals approximately $125,000. Prosecutors in Chile said Reeves identified the watches as the ones taken from his Hollywood Hills home in December 2023.
As per the previous reports, authorities in Chile recovered the items during coordinated raids across Santiago, where officers also discovered a substantial range of stolen property. This include handbags, electronics, vehicles, and other luxury accessories. After verifying the items, Chilean officials delivered the watches to the FBI on July 29, 2025, allowing the agency to facilitate their return.
In its statement, Akil Davis, assistant director in charge of the Los Angeles Field Office, said, “This case is a perfect example of the excellent international cooperation we enjoy with our Chilean counterparts and our local partners at Los Angeles Police Department.”
