Florida - Vanilla Ice has been released from custody in Florida after being arrested and charged with breaking into and stealing from an abandoned home.
The 47-year-old was charged on Wednesday with burglary of a residence and grand theft and taken into custody. He was released from the jail on Wednesday night on a $6 000 bond.
The Lantana Police Department said in a statement: "During the investigation, it was determined Robert Matthew Van Winkle played a role in the burglary and theft.
"Mr. Van Winkle is currently renovating the residence adjacent to the property in which the items were stolen.
"A search warrant was obtained and executed in unincorporated Palm Beach County in which several of the stolen items were recovered at a residence under the care and control of Robert Van Winkle."
After the arrest, Police Chief Sean Scheller told The Hollywood Reporter that the star - who shot to fame in the 1990s - was working with police to try to locate the missing items and he is said to have been very cooperative.
Since then, the stolen items have now been "returned to their rightful owner".
Van Winkle told TV station WPTV that the situation was a “misunderstanding” that's been “blown out of proportion.”
