OPINION OF THE COURT

Murphy, P. J.

At about 7:40 p.m. on January 22, 1976, a detective and a police officer, dressed in civilian clothes, were on anticrime patrol in an unmarked vehicle in the area of 149th Street and Eighth Avenue in Manhattan. They observed a Black male, the defendant, walking down the street with a sack over his shoulder. The defendant was covered with snow and he walked at a quick pace with a noticeable limp. Since the detective could see what "looked like” the outline of a television set in the sack, the decision was made to stop and question the defendant.
