PER CURIAM.

Defendant was found guilty by a jury of the crime of larceny in a building and was sentenced to a term of two to four years in prison. MCLA § 750.360 (Stat Ann 1954 Rev § 28.592). On appeal, defendant questions the sufficiency of the evidence offered by the people in support of the jury's verdict of guilty. An examination of the record on appeal convinces this Court that there was ample evidence to support the jury's finding of the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. People v. Szymanski (1948), 321 Mich. 248; People v. Clifford Jordan (1969), 19 Mich. App. 356; People v. Ford (1969), 19 Mich. App. 519.
