Detectives report finding stolen property at a South Seattle jeweler, with charging referrals expected soon.

Overview

  • A King County Valley SWAT team raided a Renton residence on August 21 and Seattle police arrested a 29-year-old man tied to the investigation.
  • Police say the man was booked in a separate Seattle robbery as detectives prepare to refer charges in the Macklemore home-invasion case in the coming days.
  • Investigators executed a search warrant at a South Seattle jewelry store and reported locating multiple items stolen from Macklemore’s home and from other recently burglarized residences.
  • Some outlets reported that Macklemore’s Seattle Sounders ring and another ring were among the recovered items, which Seattle police have not universally confirmed.
  • The June 7 break-in involved two men entering through an unlocked door, using bear spray on a 22-year-old nanny who escaped to call 911, with Macklemore’s children unharmed.
