LAZARO SANCHEZ, APPELLANT, v. THE STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE.

PER CURIAM.

We affirm the defendant's conviction and sentence for grand theft of an automobile. The trial court need not include a jury charge of trespass in a conveyance, as a category 2 permissive lesser included offense of grand theft of a motor vehicle, where the information does not allege one of the elements of the lesser offense. See Brown v. State, 206 So.2d 377 (Fla. 1968). Here, the information charging grand theft of a motor vehicle did not allege one of the statutory elements of trespass in a conveyance — that the defendant wilfully entered or remained in the complainant's motor vehicle. § 810.08(1), Fla. Stat. (1993). Accordingly, the trial court correctly denied the defendant's request for a jury charge on trespass in a conveyance.

Affirmed.
