Jefferson, J.
On December 14, 1976, in the Juvenile Court of Sutter County, a petition was filed alleging, in four counts, that *996 the minor, David K., had committed several criminal offenses on December 12, 1976. On December 28, 1976, the minor admitted the allegations of count V of an amended petition which alleged the violation on the same date of an attempted robbery pursuant to Penal Code sections 664 and 211. Counts I through IV were dismissed. The court, having determined that the minor was a resident of the County of Los Angeles, ordered the matter transferred to the Juvenile Court of Los Angeles County for further proceedings.
On January 10, 1977, by virtue of an amended petition filed in the Juvenile Court for the County of San Francisco, David was charged with having committed three offenses. In count I he was charged with committing, on December 12, 1976, the robbery of Edward Langley with the use of a knife in violation of Penal Code section 211a. In count II David was charged with a violation of section 10851 of the Vehicle Code on the same date by taking Langley’s automobile. In count III he was charged with receiving stolen property on the same date, the property,…

However, without objection, the probation officer did testify that all three minors were from Canoga Park in Los Angeles County.

The evidence supports the inference that the minor was one of the three involved in the San Francisco robbeiy.
