WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. --

Two West Palm Beach police officers who were caught breaking into cars in Jupiter were back on the job Thursday night.

Christopher Clark and Timothy Pike went back to work after passing all tests needed find out if they were fit for duty.

The two are now working without restrictions.

A bar manager in Abacoa said he caught the officers breaking into his truck in a parking garage last September.

The officers were charged with felony criminal mischief, but the state attorney won't prosecute those charges if the men pay for the damage they caused and enter alcohol treatment.

The West Palm Beach Police Department's Internal Affairs Department is still investigating whether they broke department policies.
