ROBERTS, Justice
(concurring).
I join in the Opinion of the Court in all respects except for the discussion of whether the trustworthiness of the informant was sufficiently established to satisfy the requirements expressed in Aguilar v. Texas, 378 U.S. 108, 114, 84 S.Ct. 1509, 1514, 12 L.Ed.2d 723 (1964). There was no basis for the conclusion that the underlying facts were reliably witnessed and, thus, there was no probable cause regardless of the informant’s reliability. Because determination of this question is not necessary to the disposition of the case, I do not reach it.
