Delay; heist (4-2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hold-up

This clue is a double definition.

'delay' is the first definition.
(I know that delay can be written as hold up)

'heist' is the second definition.
(I know that hold-up is a type of heist)

(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.
