Robbery (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

theft

heist

'robbery' is the definition.
(I know that heist is a type of robbery)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for heist that I've seen before include "Robbery (mainly US)" , "Audacious robbery" , "Armed robbery" , "crime?" , "bank job in America?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, The Telegraph, The Times, the King Feature Syndicate, the Penny Press, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Independent, The Star Tribune and The Sun.
