burglars

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'robbers' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'grab urls deviously' is the wordplay.
'deviously' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'grab'+'urls'='graburls'
'graburls' anagrammed gives 'BURGLARS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for burglars that I've seen before include "Thieves, robbers" , "Thieves who break into buildings" , "Intrusive thieves" , "They break in to steal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
