Ryan, J.
I concur in the Court’s decision to reverse and remand for a new trial because I agree that the circumstances of the defendant’s arrest did not excuse the warrant requirement of US Const, Am IV, and Const 1963, art 1, § 11.
Since the jury learned that the warrantless entry into the defendant’s room resulted in the seizure of $12, the exact amount of money the victim claimed was stolen from her, I cannot conclude that the constitutional violation was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt. See Chambers v Maroney, 399 US 42; 90 S Ct 1975; 26 L Ed 2d 419 (1970), and People v Robinson, 386 Mich 551; 194 NW2d 709 (1972).
Cavanagh and Boyle, JJ., took no part in the decision of this case.
