Crossword Genius

Arrest victim and note address (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bookmark

'note address' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'arrest victim' is the wordplay.
'arrest' becomes 'book' (book can informally mean to arrest).
'victim' becomes 'mark' (mark is a kind of victim).
'book'+'mark'='BOOKMARK'

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for bookmark that I've seen before include "It helps to know one's place" , "Strip inserted between pages as indicator" , "Link" , "Reader's place keeper" , "note address" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
