Crossword Genius

Nick and Bobby (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cop

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'nick' is the first definition.
(both can mean to apprehend or arrest)

'bobby' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in other clues)

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for cop that I've seen before include "Police officer (slang)" , "Get" , "Policeman (colloq.)" , "Police officer (informal)" , "busy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
