BARRY GOLDBERG, APPELLANT,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE
PER CURIAM.
During a consensual search of the defendant’s luggage, a police officer pulled “an oblong soft-shaped package” from a shirt pocket. At this point the defendant said, “Hey, that is my personal stuff,” and began to lunge or “kind of reach out” toward the officer holding the package. The officer stated that she could not see the contents of the package and candidly admitted that only a hunch suggested it might contain contraband.
Since the testimony regarding these events is without conflict and is susceptible of only one reasonable interpretation, i.e., that the defendant withdrew his consent to search before the police developed probable cause to believe that he possessed contraband, we hold that it was error to deny defendant’s motion to suppress. Accordingly, the conviction is reversed and the cause is remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
GLICKSTEIN and HURLEY, JJ., and GREEN, OLIVER L., Associate Judge, concur.

Second, the initial consent to search the tote bW is properly regarded as extending to the packages themselves, particularly in the light of the fact that, unlike, for example, Goldberg v. State, 407 So. 2d 352 (Fla. 4th DCA 1981) and Major v.

Gregoria Valcin and Gerard Valcin v. Pub. Health Tr. OF Dade Cnty., 473 So. 2d 1297 (Fla. 3d DCA 1984)…but before the surgery, and that had those assurances not been given to her, she would have withdrawn her consent. Since it is apodictic that a consent may be withdrawn at any time before the act consented to is accomplished, see Goldberg v. State, 407 So. 2d 352 (Fla. 4th DCA 1981); Berg v. State, 384 So. 2d 292 (Fla. 4th DCA 1980), a fraudulent misrepresentation that induces a party not to withdraw the consent is, in our view, equally sufficient to overcome the presumption of a valid consent. .
