Defendant left the scene of the crime with the two men and the chain saws. The three men drove to a house on Hanover Street where Harvin and Thompson removed the chain saws from the trunk and took them to the door of the house. Defendant remained in the automobile.

The three men then drove to a second house where Harvin got out while defendant and Thompson remained in the automobile.
