Fled with bag of plunder (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ransack

'plunder' is the definition.
('ransack' can be a synonym of 'plunder')

'fled with bag' is the wordplay.
'fled' becomes 'ran' (I've seen this before).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'bag' becomes 'sack' (sack is a kind of bag**).
'ran'+'sack'='RANSACK'

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for ransack that I've seen before include "Plunder or turn upside down in search" , "Search thoroughly and destructively" , "Turn upside down in searching" , "Plunder; search ruthlessly" , "Pillage, plunder" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
