Assist in crime (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abet

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">assist 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 abet that I've seen before include "Help in wrongdoing" , "Help to do something wrong" , "Criminally endorse" , "Encourage or assist (someone) to commit crime" , "helpful" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate, The Times and the Penny Press.
