Crossword Genius

Checks, made by police (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

arrests

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'checks' is the first definition.
('arrest' can be a synonym of 'check')

'made by police' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for arrests that I've seen before include "made by police" , "Seizes and takes into custody" , "has a heart attack" , "Apprehends" , "Checks" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
