What are the elements of theft by false pretenses?

The necessary elements that must be shown to establish the crime of theft by false pretenses are: '(1) an intent to defraud; (2) an actual fraud committed; (3) the use of false pretenses to perpetrate the fraud; and (4) reliance upon the fraudulent representations in parting with money or other property.' (People v. Caruso (1959), 176 Cal.App.2d 272, 276, 1 Cal.Rptr. 428.) There can be no question but that the evidence clearly shows all four of these elements. Defendants' main attack is on the first and second elements above set forth.
