Birdsong, Judge.

Holland appeals his conviction of theft ‍‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​‌​​‍by taking. Held:

The evidence showed that appellant and another man approached the victim ‍‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​‌​​‍from the rear, the other man removed the victim’s purse from her ‍‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​‌​​‍shopping cart, and both men fled. This evidence, without more, was insufficient ‍‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​‌​​‍to authorize the appellant’s conviction. Johnson v. State, 126 Ga. App. 277 (190 SE2d 594).

Judgment ‍‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​‌​​‍reversed.

Bell, C. J., and Shulman, J., concur.
