PER CURIAM.
J.R. appeals an order adjudicating him delinquent of nine offenses.
We agree, and the State concedes, that there was insufficient evidence to
prove the value necessary for first-degree petit theft. See § 812.014(2)(e),
Fla. Stat. (2022). Accordingly, we reverse the adjudication of delinquency
for first-degree petit theft and remand for the trial court to adjudicate
2
J.R. guilty of second-degree petit theft. See § 812.014(3)(a). We affirm
the remaining adjudications of guilt.
Affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded.
