SEATTLE — KING 5 has confirmed that Macklemore’s house in Seattle was burglarized over the weekend by men armed with bear spray and wearing face masks, gloves and what seemed to be tactical vests. 

A police report said two men broke into the home just after midnight on Saturday. The police report did not say whether Macklemore, whose real name is Ben Haggerty, was home at the time.

A woman at the home was sprayed with bear mace and three children were sleeping early Saturday when the break-in occurred. 

The taller of the two men seemed to be in charge, a Seattle police report says, and ordered the second shorter man to “spray her.” The shorter one sprayed her in the face what police later confirmed was bear mace.

The taller one yelled at the woman, “where are the jewels, b****?” before the shorter man pulled her up from the floor and led her around the house.  

They had her show them where the valuables were in the residence, stopping to search through drawers, cabinets and closets before placing jewelry, watches and shoes into bags, the police report said.

Later, the shorter one threw her to the ground at the taller one’s command, at one point putting a boot on her neck and taking her phone. When she started to scream, they got her up, pinned her to a wall and tried to cover her mouth. However, she bit one of the man’s hands and was able to run out of the house through a bathroom. 

The woman knocked on neighbors’ doors until one answered and let her inside to call police. 

Responding police cleared the residents and safely removed the children, who were unharmed. Responding officers described “obvious signs of disarray” and bear spray “still present in the air” in certain parts of the house.

Surveillance footage obtained by police showed the woman’s escape from the house followed later by movement near the back door and fence, according to the report. Near that area where movement was seen, police found bear spray and an item of clothing. 

A passerby also told a responding officer that they saw a man wearing all black running westbound through yard north of the burglarized house. 

Police said the woman who escaped the house had orange spray visible on her neck, cuts on her hand from knocking on the neighbor’s glass door, and blood on her pants from her hands or climbing over the gate on the private street the house is on.
