GOSHORN, J.

Morris Sessler was found guilty of and sentenced for robbery with a firearm1 and grand theft of a firearm.2 On appeal, he argues that he should not have been adjudicated and sentenced for both offenses because they arose from a single criminal episode involving a single taking of property from a single victim. We agree and accordingly reverse the grand theft conviction.
