Macklemore's home in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle was the site of a home invasion as his nanny was maced with bear spray and his three children were present, according to law enforcement.
A police report from June 7 shared with USA TODAY said shortly before 1 a.m., a nanny for three kids was sprayed with bear mace before leading two suspects to a master bedroom where they rummaged through drawers, cabinets, and "raided" a closet full of clothing, jewelry and shoes.
The mostly redacted police report features the unredacted last name Davis, the legal name of Macklemore's wife, Tricia Davis, and refers to a homeowner as a "high-profile individual." Macklemore and Davis share three children: Sloane, Colette and Hugo.

The report does not state if Macklemore, whose legal name is Benjamin Haggerty, was home at the time.
The police report also said the nanny "believed the crime may have been politically motivated for some reason."
In recent months, Macklemore has made headlines for pro-Palestine posts and was removed from a Las Vegas festival performance lineup for the inaugural Neon City Festival in Las Vegas after he referred to America with an expletive during the 'Palestine Will Live Forever' event in his hometown of Seattle.
