In re C.C.J.

Adjudication of delinquency affirmed; there was sufficient evidence to find that defendant engaged in crime with which he was charged; denial of motion to suppress was proper because police had requisite reasonable suspicion that defendant was engaging in criminal activity, and police had probable cause to arrest him for violation of truancy laws.

� 1 This is an appeal from the Order entered in the Court of Common Pleas of York County following C.C.J.’s adjudication of delinquency on the charges of conspiracy to possess marijuana with intent to deliver marijuana and possession with intent to deliver marijuana. On appeal, C.C.J. challenges the sufficiency of the evidence and the trial court’s denial of his motion to suppress. We affirm.

� 2 We first address the sufficiency of the evidence issue. In reviewing the sufficiency of the evidence to support an adjudication of delinquency, the evidence must meet the standard of proof beyond a reasonable doubt. In the Interest of DelSignore, 375 A.2d 803 (Pa. Super. 1977). The Court must examine the entire record in the light most favorable to the verdict winner, in this case the Commonwealth. Id. The Court must also consider all of the inferences which may be drawn from the evidence presented. In re D.D., 597 A.2d 648 (Pa. Super. 1991).

� 3 The instant juvenile petition was based on the actions of the York City Police Department on November 4, 2000. On that day, police officers, acting as a street crime reduction unit, were patrolling a high drug area in an unmarked vehicle and came upon a group of four individuals congregated on a sidewalk. One of the group of four was recognized as a person recently arrested on drug charges. The officers emerged and, when it appeared that two of the persons were under the age of eighteen, those two juveniles were separately approached on suspicion of truancy.
