1Opinion of the CourtCochran, J.
The trial court, sitting without a jury, convicted Gregory Blanton Lugar of the statutory burglary of two Richmond drugstores, Sunset Hills Pharmacy and Cavedo’s Drug Store, under Code § 18.1-89 (Cum. Supp. 1973). The court sentenced Lugar to serve eight years in the State penitentiary on the first count, but suspended imposition of sentence on the second count during good behavior. The dis-positive question in this appeal is whether certain evidence of the *610Commonwealth, admitted over Lugar’s objection, was seized in violation of his Fourth Amendment rights.
