YouTube and Soccer Aid star, AngryGinge, was arrested at the British Grand Prix.
AngryGinge, real name Morgan Burtwistle, and two fellow streamers were accused of causing £30,000-worth of damage to an F1 car on display at Silverstone on Friday.
A Northamptonshire Police spokesperson told TalkSport: 'On Friday, July 4, Northamptonshire Police received a report that a classic car on display at Silverstone Circuit during the British Grand Prix event had sustained several thousands of pounds worth of damage, which was alleged to have been caused by someone accessing the display stand and climbing into the vehicle.
'Officers carried out initial inquiries, and suspects were identified.
'Three men, aged 23, 25 and 27, were arrested on suspicion of causing criminal damage to a vehicle and taken into police custody.
'Following a thorough investigation into the circumstances of the incident, all three men were released with no further action.'

'Chazza' was seen approaching the car on display and there was a snapping sound
Pictures on social media showed AngryGinge being led away by the police on Friday at a fan event at the iconic circuit.
Chazza and SamHam, also streamers, were the others accused of causing criminal damage to a BWT Racing Point F1 Team car - an accusation they all vehemently deny.
A video emerged of 'Chazza' approaching the display car before a snapping sound was heard, with AngryGinge saying: 'I think the suspension on the car has just gone.'
The trio were questioned by police at a station 17 miles away and AngryGinge revealed his side of the story on TikTok.
'For sitting in a car, they got us, you don't do that at F1,' he said.
'They locked us up for watching somebody else sitting in a car - they locked SamHam up for watching somebody else sit in a car.
'They locked Chazza up for sitting in a car, criminal damage, they tried to say. 30 grand, they tried to say...
'Security's then come over, a very funny little moment where I've tried to grass Chaz up. Two hours have gone past, you'd have thought I assaulted someone, let me tell you... Chazza has sat in an F1 car.
'I offered to show him the video there and then. The words, okay, from the gentleman in the cap, "there's no point, mate. You can show us at the station."
'What the f*** is going on here then? We pull up into custody, he said, "Do you want a solicitor?"
'And I said, "Sarge, I'm all right, thanks". He then replied, "Why don't you want a solicitor?" Done f*** all wrong mate.
He added: 'My toilet has got skids in. He's gone, "would you like any food and drink?" - "What've you got, mate?"
'He said, "We've got pot noodles".
'So, anyway, I've managed to fall asleep, then about 10 seconds go by, and a guy in the cell next to me starts banging for no reason.
'10 o'clock in the morning, I'm thinking it is, and the door opens, I'm thinking it might be interview time. Officer opens it, "you're free to go, there's no further action."
'I've just spent 15 hours in a concrete block, and I'm now being told, no further action.
'I've not been questioned, interviewed, and that's that.
'All three of us have just been let out at the same time, no further action, done finished.'
AngryGinge recently played in Soccer Aid and the huge Manchester United fan won the player of the match at Old Trafford.
With the game poised at 4-4 in the latter stages, he went in for a strong slide tackle on Carlos Tevez, who made sure to leave something on him during the collision - a nasty cut on his leg.

But Tevez left something in on him and AngryGinge was left with a nasty gash on his leg
Angry Ginge shared a photo of the gash on his leg afterwards, writing 'cheers Tevez, t***' on social media, but he was not done there.
Taking to Twitch, he bragged about his programme had been signed by other Soccer Aid favourites, before launching into a re-imagination of 'Zombie' by the Cranberries.
'In your head, in your head, Tevez, Tevez, Tevez-ez-ez, I'm in your head, in your head, Tevez, Tevez, Tevez-ez-ez,' the 23-year-old sang.
But in a moment of humility, he added: 'I will be honest, he did score four.'
