Joseph TUKES, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. AN-189.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    July 8, 1983.
    Charlene V. Edwards, Asst. Public Defender, for appellant.
    Jim Smith, Atty. Gen., Wallace E. All-britton, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee.
   WENTWORTH, Judge.

Appellant seeks review of his conviction and sentence for the offense of grand theft. We do not address the contention that Fla. Const. Art. I, § 12, and Swartz v. State, 316 So.2d 618 (Fla. 1st DCA 1975), cert. denied, 333 So.2d 465 (Fla.1976), require that an arrest warrant issue only upon a sworn written statement of probable cause. The circumstances of the present case permit a warrantless arrest pursuant to § 901.15(2), Florida Statutes, and any error in the issuance of the arrest warrant would therefore be harmless.

The order appealed is affirmed.

ROBERT P. SMITH, Jr., and ZEHMER, JJ., concur.
