PER CURIAM.

Defendant was found guilty by a jury of the crime of armed robbery and was sentenced to a term of 7 to 15 years in prison. MCLA § 750.529 (Stat Ann 1970 Cum Supp § 28.797). 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 indicates that the evidence, if believed, was sufficient to support the jury's finding of a reasonable doubt of the crime charged. People v. Petrosky (1938), 286 Mich. 397; People v. Clifford Jordan (1969), 19 Mich. App. 356; People v. Ford (1969), 19 Mich. App. 519.

Affirmed.
