SEATTLE (KING) - Authorities in Seattle are investigating a burglary at the home of singer Macklemore.
A police report says two men armed with bear-repellant spray broke into Macklemore’s home just after midnight on Saturday wearing face masks and tactical vests.
A woman at the home, who police said was the nanny, was sprayed with the bear repellant and told to show where the valuables were located throughout the home.

Three children were also in the house sleeping, but they were not harmed.
It’s not clear if Macklemore, whose real name is Ben Haggerty, was home at the time.
