Eric Demont MILLS, Appellant, v. The STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 91-1068.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    June 30, 1992.
    Bennett H. Brummer, Public Defender, and Elliot H. Scherker, Asst. Public Defender, for appellant.
    Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., and Julie S. Thornton, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee.
    Before NESBITT, FERGUSON and GODERICH, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

Where a jury agreed by its verdict that the defendant burglarized an unoccupied residence, but could not decide unanimously whether a firearm was taken during the burglary, it was error, as the State concedes, to convict and sentence him for armed burglary. A verdict which does not find everything that is necessary to enable the court to render a judgment cannot support the judgment. Streeter v. State, 416 So.2d 1203 (Fla. 3d DCA 1982).

Reversed in part and remanded with instructions to reduce the conviction for armed burglary, a first-degree felony, to second-degree felony burglary.
