Aids in crime (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abets

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">aids in crime</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for abets that I've seen before include "Aids in wrong-doing" , "Assists in wrongdoing" , "Helps (someone to commit crime)" , "Assists or encourages" , "Aids and encourages" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate, the Newsday and The Mirror.
