Law enforcement has probable cause to believe that the long-running violent serial burglary is linked to the home invasion robbery of the 41-year-old rapper — born Benjamin Hammond Haggerty — and several athletes, including Seattle Seahawks legend Richard Sherman.
The arrests were prompted by a raid on a pawn shop, where officers had discovered thousands of dollars in stolen goods linked to the men, including jewelry, guns and stacks of cash.
A custom Seattle Sounders MLS Cup ring and a Seahawks Super Bowl ring are believed to have belonged to Macklemore.
The pawnshop owner was also booked into the King County Jail for an investigation into human trafficking of stolen property.

Missonnet had an active arrest warrant after prosecutors alleged he cut off an ankle monitor earlier this year because he had served a house arrest warrant in 2023 related to another home invasion robbery.
“Some of these items belong to some of these individuals and are possibly related to other robberies (of athletes),” Detective Eric Munoz of the Seattle Police Department told KOMO News.
A law enforcement official had described Misonnet as the “primary” suspect, but there is at least one other suspect, as detectives are expected to refer criminal charges to prosecutors soon.
It comes after McLemore’s nanny, who was home with her three children at the time, told police she noticed the two men using the patio door to get into the Seattle home on the night of Saturday, June 7, after she had put the children to bed.
According to the police report, she said she was then hit with bear spray, but added that immediately afterward, one of the men looked “scared” and started “for some inexplicable reason” to help her wipe her eyes.
According to the report, the other man then demanded to know the location of the “jewelry” and she helped them find the valuables, after which they grabbed her watches, shoes and jewelry, forcing the nanny to the ground and taking her phone.
The nanny said she managed to bite one of the intruders and escape from the home, which is located in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood, according to the Seattle Times.
A hair-raising doorbell video obtained by Dailymail.com shows the nanny frantically banging on her neighbor’s door, trying the button and begging: “Help, please!”

Dailymail.com had contacted Macklemore’s rep and the Seattle Police Department for comment at the time.
Macklemore was supposedly out of the country at the time, as he was playing a concert in Frankfurt, Germany on Sunday, June 8th.
Police say that after fleeing the house, the babysitter knocked on the doors of several neighbors and one of them eventually recognized her, at which point she called 911.
She informed authorities that she did not see any weapons in the possession of the two home invaders, who she described as wearing masks, gloves, and vests that appeared “tactical” in nature.
In an incident report about the home invasion, the Seattle Police Department said the burglars seized “thousands of dollars in items.”
The video shows the burglars leaving the property, and they managed to clear the scene before authorities arrived, according to TMZ .
The police report on the homeowner refers to a “high-profile individual,” leaving his name redacted, but the home address listed on Macklemore’s voting records matches the targeted property.
The McLemore children were clearly unaware of the incident and were put on the receiving end of their relatives’ overpayment after the robbery.
