***Video above: What happens when you call 911*** SEATTLE (WJW) — The Seattle Police Department is investigating after two suspects reportedly broke into rapper Macklemore's home while a nanny and his three children were inside.

The woman told dispatchers that she escaped to call 911, but three children were still inside the home. When they arrived, police officials learned that the nanny had been sitting on the main floor after putting the kids to bed upstairs, when she noticed two men — wearing all black, with masks and gloves — coming in through a patio door. According to the police report, one of the suspects then sprayed the nanny in the face with bear spray, while the other demanded, 'where are the jewels?' The nanny led them to the master bedroom, where the suspects, 'went through drawers, cabinets and raided the closet full of clothing, jewelry and shoes,' the police report said. She told police the suspect forced her to the ground and took her phone. The nanny started screaming and was pinned to the wall, but according to the report, she broke free after biting one of the suspect's hands. The woman then ran to a neighbor's home to call police. According to Seattle police, officers searched the home but the suspects had already fled the scene. The children, who were still inside, were found safe. Other family members took custody of them.
