Overview

  • Two masked intruders entered the Capitol Hill home hours after midnight on June 7, using bear mace on the nanny and demanding to know where the valuables were kept.
  • The burglars ransacked the residence and fled with thousands of dollars in jewelry, watches and shoes while Macklemore’s three children slept upstairs.
  • The nanny bit one of the attackers to break free, ran to neighboring houses to call 911 and escaped without serious injury.
  • Seattle police recovered a discarded can of bear spray and noted disturbed foliage near the property fence as they continue the manhunt for the suspects.
  • Macklemore abruptly canceled a scheduled Frankfurt show to return to Seattle for the ongoing investigation and to reunite with his family.
