The evidence supports the court\u2019s findings, after voir dire, to the effect that the identification of defendant by the victim was based solely on what the victim saw at the time of the robbery. The court\u2019s findings which are supported by competent evidence are conclusive. State v. Taylor, 280 N.C. 273, 185 S.E. 2d 677.\nShortly after the robbery, defendant was seen running away from the scene of the crime. He was stopped and searched by police officers. The victim\u2019s wallet and a loaded pistol were taken from defendant\u2019s person. Defendant objected to the admission of these and other objects later taken from him. On appeal, defendant\u2019s able counsel concedes that State v. Streeter, 283 N.C. 203, 195 S.E. 2d 502 negates his argument on the hdmission of these items. We agree and find no prejudicial error in defendant\u2019s trial.\nNo error.\nJudges Britt and Parker concur.",
