The following excerpt is from People v. A.B. (In re A.B.), 2d Juv. No. B286291 (Cal. App. 2018):
(People v. Flynn (2000) 77 Cal.App.4th 766, 772.) For purposes of aider and abettor liability, the commission of a robbery continues until all the acts constituting the offense have ceased, which occurs when the stolen property is carried away to a place of temporary safety.
