Bear disturbed family in burglary (5,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

break in

'burglary' is the definition.
(I know that break-in is a type of burglary)

'bear disturbed family' is the wordplay.
'disturbed' indicates an anagram (the order of letters is disturbed).
'family' becomes 'kin' (synonyms).
'bear' anagrammed gives 'brea'.
'brea'+'kin'='BREAK-IN'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for break in that I've seen before include "Enter forcibly" , "Forced entry" , "Criminal entry" , "Illegally enter" , "Interrupt - burglary" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
