ARMSTRONG, A.C.J.

The defendants were each convicted of one count of intentional interference with owner's control, RCW 9.05.070. They raise several issues, including whether the information contained all the elements of the crime charged. Because the defendants' challenge was made before trial, we strictly construe the information and hold that it does not contain all the elements; accordingly, we reverse and dismiss the convictions without prejudice.
