Delay; heist (4-2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hold-up

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">This clue is a double definition.<br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">delay</span>' is the first definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I know that delay can be written as hold up)</span><br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">heist</span>' is the second definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I know that hold-up is a type of heist)</span><br/ ><br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for hold-up that I've seen before include "Commit armed robbery or keep aloft" , "Delay or show aloft" , "Robbery; cause of delay" , "Support by arms - threaten by arms" , "Stop and rob" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
