***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.

According to a police report obtained by affiliate WJW, the home invasion happened before 1 a.m. on Saturday at the residence of a “high-profile individual” in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood.

Officers responded to the scene after a woman, later identified as a nanny, said two men broke into the house. 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 the 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.

“There were obvious signs of disarray in the portions of the house,” the police report reads, “and bear spray was still present in the air through portions of the house.”

While searching the area, investigators found a can of bear spray. Investigators also found several bushes flattened near the property’s fence.

As reported by People and the Seattle Times, the address listed in the police report matches voting records for 41-year-old Ben Haggerty, better known as the “Thrift Shop” rapper Macklemore.

A spokesperson for the rapper did not respond to People’s request, the outlet reported.

According to USA Today, Haggerty has three children with his wife Tricia Davis.

The break-in remains under investigation.
