According to a news release issued by the Lantana Police Department, the 'Ice Ice Baby' rapper was charged with burglary residence and grand theft.
Vanilla, 47, whose real name is Robert Matthew Van Winkle, allegedly broke into a vacant house, which was going through foreclosure, in Lantana sometime between December and February.
The rapper, who was renovating a house for DIY Network's show 'The Vanilla Ice Project', reportedly stole furniture from the vacant house next to the renovated house and took them to the renovated house.
The items which were stolen included a pool heater and bicycles.
"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," said Lantana Police Department.
Vanilla's representative has not commented on the issue yet.
