Macklemore's Seattle Home Reportedly Robbed with His 3 Children Inside as Nanny Escapes to Call for Help: Cops
Macklemore's home in Seattle was reportedly robbed on June 7. His three children were home with their nanny at the time before she escaped to call for help. The suspects stole "thousands of dollars of items," cops said.
A police report shared with PEOPLE by the Seattle Police Department said a woman — later identified as the home owner’s nanny — called 911 just before 1 a.m. on Saturday, June 7 to report that two men had broken into a home in the city’s Capitol Hill neighborhood and used bear spray on her.
“She escaped, but three children were still inside the house,” the report said. “[The caller] also added that the house belonged to a high-profile individual…. and that she believed the crime may have been politically motivated for some reason.”
The Seattle Times reported that the address in the police report matched that of the voting record of Ben Haggerty — Macklemore's real name. The report viewed by PEOPLE also left the name “Davis” unredacted in one mention — the last name of his wife, Tricia Davis.
The “Thrift Shop” singer, 41, and his wife are parents to daughters Sloane, 10, and Colette, 7, and son Hugo, 3½.
In a separate release about the incident, police said the suspects “ransacked the residence, stealing thousands of dollars of items.”
The nanny said that at one point, she was thrown to the ground and had a boot put to her ankle and the back of her neck.
“[The nanny] began to scream, so they got her up and pinned her against a wall, the shorter one holding her mouth shut,” the report said. “At this point, [the nanny] tried to kick the shorter one in the groin, but was unable to, so she bit onto his hand hard, causing him to let go. [She] then fled through the bathroom and out of the house. [She] knocked on numerous residences before someone opened the door and allowed her inside to call the police.”
