There is a very strong chance that you could be charged as a "principal" to that Robbery. A lot would depend on what your "friends" says when he/she is interviewed by the police.

I would probably speak with an experienced criminal defense attorney in your area.

Good luck.

The cops will probably charge anybody they can, just hoping to get somebody to snitch. If you didn't know anything about the robbery, and even if you did, a good criminal defense attorney can probably get you off, but he/she's got to know what they are doing.
