Aid and abeit means to help some else. I've heard it used when it comes to committing a crime. If you aid and abeit then you are partly responsible for the crime.

Aid and abet means to help someone commit a crime, and to help them cover up the crime.
For instance, if someone robs a bank and uses your car as the getaway vehicle, you aided them in the crime by providing the car, and abetted the crime by helping them escape from the scene.

That means you are hiding someone from the law. You could be in big trouble if you get caught. I wouldn't consider it if I were you. You could get time out of it. Just trying to help. I hope you are not involved and just inquiring. Have a good day.
