Beast in a police car? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

panda

This clue is a double definition.

'beast' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a police car?' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for panda that I've seen before include "Endangered bamboo eater" , "Black-eyed animal" , "Bamboo-eating mammal" , "One eating bamboo" , "Bamboo-eater" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
