Burglars broke into a home in Seattle belonging to Macklemore over the weekend, spraying a nanny with bear mace and stealing “thousands of dollars of items” while three children were in the residence.
The incident occurred just after midnight on Saturday, June 7, in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood, according to a police report obtained by Rolling Stone. The two suspects entered the house, confronted the nanny with the mace, then “ransacked the residence.” The suspects were reportedly inside the house for several minutes until the nanny was able to free herself and call 911. The suspects fled soon after. The children in the house were not harmed and were put in the care of family members
While the police report noted that the house belonged to a “high-profile individual,” the name was redacted. The home address, however, matched those on Macklemore’s voting record, per The Seattle Times.
It does not appear that Macklemore was home at the time of the robbery. The musician played a pair of concerts in Ireland on June 4 and 5, and was scheduled to perform at a festival in Frankfurt, Germany, on June 8, but canceled his appearance at the last minute. The festival wrote in a statement, “Due to unforeseen circumstances, Macklemore had to return to Seattle to attend to an urgent matter… This decision was not made lightly and we apologize to all his fans eager to see the show.”

I think he lives in one of the mansions on the northside of Capitol Hill. This is still messed up.
