The rapper — real name: Robert Van Winkle — had been renovating a residence next door to the crime scene. (Van Winkle has a home-renovation reality show, “The Vanilla Ice Project,” on the DIY Network.)
The stolen items include furniture, a pool heater and bicycles. After an investigation revealed that Van Winkle “played a role” in the burglary, police found some of the stolen property at “a residence under the care and control” of Van Winkle, police said.

Van Winkle and DIY have not yet responded to TheWrap‘s request for comment.
