Keanu Reeves' residence reportedly fell victim to another trespassing incident. The Los Angeles police were alerted by an anonymous call on Wednesday, December 6, with concerns about a possible intruder on Reeves' property, as reported by TMZ. However, when the police arrived to investigate that evening, they were unable to find anyone on the premises.
On the early hours of Thursday, December 7, authorities responded to an alarm at the property. Security footage revealed several individuals wearing ski masks who broke a window and entered the actor's house. Reeves, 59, was not present during the burglary.
According to TMZ, the suspects stole a firearm before fleeing the scene. LAPD is investigating whether the initial alarm was a tactic to scout Reeves' property prior to the break-in.
Reeves has had previous encounters with intruders. In 2014, an unknown woman was found in his house. The John Wick star was awakened at 5 a.m. by a sound coming from his library, where he found the woman sitting in his chair.
The intruder claimed to be there to meet him, and Reeves tried to calmly converse with her before eventually contacting the authorities. The police detained the woman and decided to place her in involuntary psychiatric hold. It was reported that Reeves had forgotten to set his alarm, which enabled the woman to enter his home.
Several days later, another woman entered Reeves' residence while he was away, gaining access through an unlocked door left open by the cleaning crew. She then proceeded to undress, take a shower in Reeves' bathroom, and later went for a swim in the pool.
Upon discovering the woman, the cleaning crew notified Reeves, who then contacted 911. When authorities arrived, the woman was taken in for a mental evaluation.
Since rising to fame in 1989's Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, Reeves has been a fixture in Hollywood, earning acclaim for his roles in Speed, The Matrix, Constantine, and the John Wick series.
Most recently, Reeves reprised his role as the fictional former hitman in John Wick: Chapter 4. In a March interview with Good Morning America, he expressed his enjoyment of playing the character, but also emphasized that he doesn't carry that persona with him off set.
At the time, a source exclusively told Us Reeves has always been “the sweetest guy” to his fans over the years despite his star status.
