SANTIAGO PROVINCE, SANTIAGO METROPOLITAN REGION, AUG 01 – Six stolen luxury watches valued at over $7 million were recovered from a Chilean gang and returned to the FBI through cooperation between Chilean and U.S. authorities.
- Six watches stolen from Keanu Reeves in Los Angeles were handed over to the FBI at the US Embassy in Santiago, Chile, nearly 9,000 kilometers away, during US Secretary of Security Kristi Noem’s visit.
