In re N.L.
N.L. appeals an order declaring him a ward under Welfare and Institutions Code section 602 based on the finding he committed robbery and his admission he discharged a firearm with gross negligence. (Pen. Code, §§ 211, 246.3, subd. (a).) On appeal, he claims the evidence is insufficient to support the finding he committed a robbery in which a wallet, a cell phone and an MP3 player were taken. However, appellant was detained approximately half an hour after the robbery and two blocks from the scene. He generally matched the description of one of the robbery suspects and he had the victim’s cell phone and MP3 player. He told the arresting officer he found the property in an alley. The juvenile court concluded the robber would not have discarded the property in an alley so soon after the commission of the offense and sustained the robbery allegation. We find the evidence sufficient to support the juvenile court’s finding and affirm the order under review.
