PER CURIAM Reversed and remanded.

Cite as 313 Or App 798 (2021) 799 PER CURIAM Defendant appeals a judgment of conviction for unlawful possession of methamphetamine based on evi- dence found in defendant’s backpack after police stopped a vehicle in which he was riding. Defendant argues that the trial court erred in denying his motion to suppress the evi- dence found in the backpack because the police seized the backpack without a lawful basis, thereby violating Article I, section 9, of the Oregon Constitution. The state concedes that the trial court erred in denying the motion, because the police did not have a lawful justification for seizing the back- pack, which was not connected to the investigation that was being conducted and that defendant had tried to leave in the vehicle. We agree with and accept the state’s concession, and we therefore reverse and remand.

Reversed and remanded.
