Burglars spray nanny with mace during break-in at rapper Macklemore’s Seattle home.

Burglars recently invaded the Seattle residence of rapper Macklemore, known legally as Benjamin Haggerty, while his three children were present in the home. Reports from local law enforcement indicate that during the break-in, the intruders maced the children’s nanny, creating a chaotic situation within the property.

Details surrounding the incident reveal that the break-in occurred around 1 a.m. local time on a Saturday. The Seattle Police Department confirmed that “thousands of dollars in items” were stolen from Macklemore’s home, valued at approximately .1 million. At the time of the burglary, Macklemore was reportedly performing in Ireland, raising questions about whether his wife was also in the residence during the incident.

According to a police report, the rapper’s children were unharmed and were subsequently placed in the care of relatives following the break-in. The nanny, whose identity has not been disclosed for safety reasons, managed to escape to a neighbor’s house after the incident and alerted authorities, according to information shared by local media sources.

Security footage obtained from the scene depicts the nanny urgently seeking assistance, illustrating the level of distress following the encounter. The report highlights that both burglars were seen wearing what appeared to be tactical vests; however, there were no reports of firearms being present at the scene, nor did the nanny observe any weapons.

The situation unfolded shortly after the nanny had put the children to bed. She reported that she noticed two men entering the home through the patio. After being exposed to bear mace by one of the intruders, the nanny described an unusual moment where he attempted to wash out the substance from her eyes. Following this, the other robber demanded access to valuables, prompting the nanny to lead them to the jewels. The intruders subsequently took her mobile phone and forced her to the ground.

In a related context, a Seattle man faced charges last week for burglarizing the homes of various athletes, including Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodríguez and a former Seattle Seahawks cornerback, although no evidence has been uncovered linking these incidents to the recent home invasion at Macklemore’s property.

This incident underscores ongoing concerns about the safety and security of high-profile individuals and their families, particularly in urban settings. As investigations proceed, authorities continue to seek information that may aid in apprehending the individuals responsible for this alarming home invasion.
