*289POPOVICH, Judge,
concurring:
I concur in the result reached by the majority. However, when an appellant is improperly convicted of two inchoate crimes, this court has the option of either remanding for resentencing or amending the sentence directly. 42 Pa.C. S.A. § 706 (1981); Commonwealth v. Turner, 290 Pa.Super. 428, 434, 434 A.2d 827, 831 (1981). Herein, since appellant was sentenced concurrently to five years probation for conspiracy and one year probation for possessing instruments of crime, this writer must opine that the interests of judicial economy would be served best by vacating appellant’s sentence for possessing instruments of crime.
